Posted by Richard Lachman on January 19th, 2018
How can universities train our scientists, technologists and engineers to engage with society rather than perform as cogs in the engine of economic development? Author Richard Lachman asks for educational system to require STEM students to take art and humanities courses, not as an attempt to “broaden minds” but as a necessary discussion of morals, ethics and responsibility.
The post Scientists in Need of Arts Training appeared first on Social Science Space.
