Innovations in science and engineering combined with shifting social and political forces impact contemporary understandings and applications of technology. This conference offers students opportunities to share their research and engage in critical reflection and dialogue about how technical innovation and increased access to technology are shaping our global context within the diverse disciplines of health, education, engineering, human rights, media, economics, politics, development, business and more.
How can you get involved?
This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience presenting on an academic panel and to think critically about one of the world’s most pressing issues. You can apply online to present on a panel or register to attend the conference at www.drexel.edu/international. The priority deadline for student abstracts is January 26, 2015.
