The primary responsibility I have as assistant director for education at the Center for Science, Technology & Society is to ensure a successful launch of the new STS requirement in the new core curriculum. Generic information about this core can be found here. The September 2009 slight revision of the learning objectives: 1. Recognize and articulate the complexity of the relationship between science and/or technology and society. 2. Comprehend the relevant science and/or technology and explain how science and/or technology advance through the processes of inquiry and experiment. 3. Analyze and evaluate the social impact of science and/or technology and how science and/or technology are themselves impacted by the needs and demands of society. A narrative exposition of the new STS requirement (but with the old learning objectives) Two particularly helpful documents for syllabus development are below: http://www.scu.edu/provost/ugst/core2009/upload/CoreSyllabusApproval-July-2008-3.pdf http://www.scu.edu/provost/ugst/core2009/upload/CoreSyllabusHowTo.pdf
