Objectifs pédagogiques
The final purpose of this course is to boost students' understanding of the social and economic dimensions of technology. This will equip them with competencies that overcome the simple technical skills that are necessary to innovate — so to provide the "x factor" that fosters employability in today's competitive labor markets.
