SYEG 540 Systems Thinking: Major Tech Changes/Impacts


3 semester hours

Systems Thinking is a course in which both students and faculty of two LMU Colleges work together: Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts (Seniors and Honors) and Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering (the Systems Engineering graduate program). We look at complex systems that combine both technological and societal aspects of our civilization, seeking to understand how things influence one another within a large context, and how we can influence them for common good. The concepts of common good and public interest are discussed and serve as the ethical baseline for the discourse on the big questions of our time, such as: healthcare, energy and transportation, public health, K-12 education, end-of-life health management, defense and homeland security, and others. Systems engineering and liberal arts students will complement each other’s thinking.

Non-HSE students only.
