The Futures of STS in Engineering and Polytechnic Universities

在工程和理工大学内进行科学和技术研究的教学和研究构成了重大挑战，并提供了大量的机会。本次研讨会探讨了这些挑战和机遇，通过吸引STS研究人员谁在这些背景下工作，从全国各地在密苏里州科技大学的新中心的科学，技术和社会。该小组将讨论在工程学校推进科学和技术研究的大思路，在这些背景下发展科学和技术研究社区，队列和研究中心的战略，以及在工程环境中增加影响的想法。研讨会的成果将包括一系列存档和策划的研讨会，一份研究报告，在领先的科学和技术研究期刊上发表的文章，以及建立一个对这些问题感兴趣的科学和技术研究学者的国家社区。这次研讨会将汇集科学和技术研究的各种研究人员，讨论科学和技术研究在工程和在这方面，我们的目标是在理工大学建立一个合作伙伴关系，并制定集体战略，以克服在这些环境中工作的潜在挑战，并利用这样做的潜在好处。研讨会的结构将通过科学和技术研究领域的最新学术评论，以及在工程和理工大学工作的科学和技术研究人员的经验来了解。该研讨会将产生战略计划，以推进科技研究在技术大学的地位和影响，创建一个对这些问题感兴趣的科学和技术研究人员社区，以及研究报告和学术文章。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

Teaching and conducting research in Science and Technology Studies within engineering and polytechnic universities poses significant challenges and offers substantial opportunities. This workshop explores these challenges and opportunities by drawing together STS researchers who work in these contexts from across the nation at Missouri University of Science & Technology's new Center for Science, Technology, and Society. The group will discuss big ideas for advancing Science and Technology Studies in engineering schools, strategies for developing Science and Technology Studies communities, cohorts, and research centers in these contexts, and ideas for increasing impacts in engineering environments. Workshop outcomes will include a set of archived and curated workshop sessions, a research report, articles in a leading Science and Technology Studies journals, and the creation of a national community of Science and Technology Studies scholars interested in these issues.This workshop will bring together a diverse group of researchers in Science and Technology Studies to discuss the appropriate role of Science and Technology Studies in engineering and polytechnical universities, and to develop collective strategies for overcoming the potential challenges of working in these environments and for capitalizing on the potential benefits of doing so. The workshop structure will be informed by recent scholarly reviews of the state-of-the-field within Science and Technology Studies, and by the experiences of Science and Technology Studies researchers who have worked in engineering and polytechnical universities. The workshop will result in strategic plans for advancing the place and impact of Science and Technology Studies in technical universities, the creation of a community of Science and Technology Researchers interested in these issues, and in research reports and scholarly articles.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
