Description

This module addresses some of the major likely patterns of change over the next 50 years and how to think about the transformation of whole systems 鈥� energy, transport, healthcare, cities during that period. The module provides a sound macro perspective into which to place the many other elements of the BSc in Science, Engineering and Social Change.听听听

The module provides a framework for thinking about how change happens and then applies this, using history, analysis of the present, and scenarios for the future, to many of the key transitions of the next few decades.听

The module primarily looks at key systems - such as the transformation of waste and recycling, water, artificial intelligence, transport and the role of government both within nations and globally.听听 It analyses these using multi-level systems approaches, showing the interactions of technology, policy and regulation and social norms and behaviours.听
