Technology Course

The University of Virginia School of
Engineering and Applied Science is offering a
new course, "Technology and Its Impact on
Society."

Louis T. Rader, professor of electrical
engineering will teach the course. Emphasis is
to be placed on the areas of energy, agriculture,
biomedicine, materials and communication, and
how they are related to other non-scientific
areas.

There are no prerequisite College science
courses. Instruction will include guest speakers
and papers written by students in the course.

The purpose of the course is to help
students who plan careers in non-scientific areas
to gain a basic understanding of the
environment, enabling them to make
day-to-day decisions which deal with these
phenomena.
