There is an increasing emphasis on how scientists and their research impact society. For example, grant proposals to the National Science Foundation must now include Broader Impact statements and explicit plans for how these sorts of activities will be accomplished.This seminar-format course explores the criteria for broader impacts and the ways in which student research can contribute to society and the achievement of desired societal outcomes. All graduate students are welcome, and Ph.D. students are required to take EESC6XXX, typically during their third year of graduate study post-bachelors.
