Science, Technology and Society (STS)Summer, AY 2011-2012, 11:00-1:00 Mondays to Fridays

STS is a course offering under UP Dilimans RGEP (Revitalized General Education Program) with

the following objectives:

To study and understand how science and technology shapes our society- its culture,

values and institutions -- and how such factors shape science and technology.

To convey the message that science is not a collection of facts but is, at its core, a way of

thinking and dealing with the world.

To help the student gain a better understanding of the nature, as well as the cultural and

political aspects of mathematics, science and technology.

To convey the message that science and technology is vital across the disciplines.

To help provide the foundation for responsible citizenship, by instilling the values ofnationalism, and concern for the people and the world we live in.

The contents of this CD are pdf files of the notes/powerpoint presentations of all STS lectures this

semester. You can use these as guide for your exam review (or aid for remembering the ideas in the

lectures you listened to). But please do not circulate or distribute, as most of these are drafts and not
