Course Overview

This is two courses in one: Engineers can take POE372 for half credit (two lectures per week) and anyone can take POE374 for a full credit (two lectures plus a seminar per week). There are four modules to the course. You will learn models of policy making and processes for evidence-based policy applied to science and technology. You will apply this understanding of policy and society to problems of environment and economic growth, the impact of technology on employment, and Canada’s defence procurement challenges related to the National Shipbuilding Strategy and next generation fighter aircraft.
