# History of Science and Technology

## STSO-4530

What is science, what is technology, and how have these two fields of inquiry evolved over time? This course examines these questions by studying the history of various scientific fields and technologies. In addition to tracing the historical evolution of the topics studied, the course will consider how social, political, economic and cultural factors helped to shape -- and were in turn shaped by -- advances in science and technology. The course will also reflect upon the relationship between science and technology on the one hand, and "progress" on the other.
