This is a course for economics majors and those who have already declared a field of study in science, engineering and sustainability and who would like to explore the implications of their anticipated pursuits in the context of the economy. To that end, each week of classes will include one session on the topic assigned for that week and a second session designed to introduce the practical aspects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics’ (STEM’s) contributing innovations to productivity and growth in our modern, post-industrial economy.
