DTI 5902 / GNG 5902  Industry Project (6 units)

Industry Project is a team-based, client-centered course that bridges academic training with real-world engineering and innovation practice. Students participate in weekly sessions covering core professional topics such as teamwork, project management, and the engineering design process, then apply these foundations to deliver a client-based project in collaboration with their team. Throughout the term, students work under the guidance of a technical advisor, developing practical skills in scoping problems, coordinating project work, and translating requirements into actionable solutions and deliverables.

ENCS 393 Social and Ethical Dimensions of Information and Communication Technologies (3 credits)

ENCS 393 examines the ethical and social questions that arise in a digitally networked world. The course explores key issues such as privacy and surveillance, intellectual property and globalization in digital economies, the digital divide, and the ethics of profiling, hacking, and automated decision-making. Students also engage with broader themes including electronic democracy, computer-mediated experience, and how information technologies reshape productivity, work, and everyday life. By combining critical frameworks with concrete cases, the course equips students to evaluate ICTs not only as technical systems, but as social forces that shape power, responsibility, and public trust.  For more details, please visit the website at https://www.concordia.ca/ginacody/engineering-in-society/programs/undergraduate-courses.html and https://prezi.com/i/view/vtN88C6Xq3Uv0SiMbPgA/?referral_token=LJqawzlnB3FN.

ENGR 392  Impact of Technology on Society (3 credits)

ENGR 392 offers a historical and critical introduction to how technology and science transform society—from the Industrial Revolution to the modern era. The course examines engineering and scientific creativity alongside the social, environmental, and ethical challenges that can emerge when technological development outpaces public oversight. Through discussions of uncontrolled technology, unintended consequences, and the idea of appropriate technology, students learn to assess technological choices in relation to human needs, sustainability, and social responsibility. The course develops a grounded understanding of technology as both a driver of progress and a source of complex trade-offs that engineers must be prepared to navigate.  For more details, please visit the website at https://sites.google.com/view/engr392projects/projects and https://www.concordia.ca/news/stories/2021/06/30/concordia-students-explore-the-impacts-of-technology-during-the-covid-19-pandemic.html.
