This FLEAP (Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program) course involves both classroom time and a 10-day program in the chosen country/countries for the current academic year, where students will have the opportunity to explore the ways in which technology is viewed and used in other parts of the world outside of the United States. Students will be immersed in an experience abroad where they will see the cultural and societal impacts of technology. World views surrounding emerging issues and current trends in technology, national and international cyber threats, and other issues will be explored, with a focus on global, social, political, economic, and ethical perspectives. Further, students will examine how technological changes have impact on a global scale, at personal, organizational, and national levels. The FLEAP combines lectures, site visits, tours, and special events in a carefully curated itinerary that provides the student with a unique and exceptional view on technology issues in the host country/countries. Additional fees and approval from the Center for Global Engagement are required to attend this course.

Prerequisite: 30 credits
