Bachelor of Science in Science, Technology, and Society(Second Major)
专业详情
Students who wish to integrate their professional study of engineering or science with a rigorous treatment of its relation to social and historical forces may pursue STS as a second major in cooperation with the Schools of Engineering and Science. The object of this program is to give those students the full technical and scientific education provided by a science or engineering major, balanced with intensive study of the historical and social contexts of science and technology. Double major applications from students in other schools (e.g., Architecture and Planning; Management; Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Students in the double major program must complete all the requirements of both majors. The STS requirements include 13 subjects as follows:
- STS.004 Intersections: Science, Technology, and the World
- At least one STS Tier I subject, in addition to STS.004
- At least one STS Tier II subject
- Four other STS subjects
- Four subjects related to the historical and social study of science and technology
- STS.THT Undergraduate Thesis Tutorial
- STS.THU Undergraduate Thesis
If a student’s other major also requires a thesis, students may coordinate their thesis effort, pending approval of undergraduate officers in both majors. Further details on the requirements of the STS program may be obtained from the STS undergraduate academic officer and the STS academic administrator.
