Over a term you will work with two professors and 35 other students to examine a set of related ideas. Being part of a focused cohort of like-minded students and engaging in undergraduate research will not only enhance your first year experience, but will help you to develop transferable intellectual and social capacities that make for well-rounded graduates.

In Fall 2016 Celeste MacConnachie and Glen Ryland will be exploring  a wide variety of issues related to the development of clones, drones and robotics, including the scientific principles and technological innovations behind their development; how they work and are employed in our culture, society, economy, and world politics; how their use advances scientific knowledge; and the ethical problems and considerations they raise.  The two instructors for this Learning Community will introduce and integrate science and the humanities, various methodologies and ways of knowing, and core concepts related to science and technology in our society today.
