This is a Complex Problem course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take HIST1627 with this course. Together we will consider how engineers and other stakeholders navigate risks related to industrial and environmental disasters, balance financial, technological, and regulatory pressures associated with complex socio-technical problems, and negotiate technical and political liabilities surrounding artificial intelligence, surveillance, and climate adaptation. Engineering systems present pressing technical, ethical, and moral problems that we must grapple with as engaged global citizens. In this course, students will explore the social, cultural, and institutional history of engineering, learn foundational skills in quantitative analysis of real-world engineering designs, and understand the political, environmental, economic, and ethical tradeoffs associated with building the modern world. Students will collaborate on group design projects based on human-centered engineering.

The class is amazing and super interesting. Conroy is not the best. Conroy is very OD in terms of grading. She once took .1 a point off for a conversion I clearly laid out. She's not the worst at lecture at least. She's not as bad as these reviews may have you think.

Not the best at explaining things, especially complex engineering problems and I found myself most of the time teaching the material to myself. The MMW class is interesting, but the engineering lectures were not great and often times very confusing and way too fast.

no enthusiasm about subjects or students, can barely explain the concepts she is supposed to be an expert in
