Aims and Objectives: The project aims to build a training programme for a multidimensional development of technology courses that integrates the analysis and evaluation of engineering technologies from different perspectives: political, economic, and environmental. The ultimate goal of the project is to equip future engineers with the skills required for a comprehensive review of how new technologies, and even their commercialisation, can impact on personal, social, economic or political level.
