Humanities for engineers

At the end of the module, students will be able to analyze, understand and debate a topic related to socio-technical controversies and ethics.

The aim of this module is to enable students to develop critical thinking, open-mindedness and ethical questioning in a changing world and media environment. The module will also seek to support students in the development of complex thinking on topics at the interface of ethical, personal and societal issues. In addition, the aim will be to explore all the dimensions of a question posed, to understand the logics at work (political, economic, social, intercultural...) in the context of current socio-technical controversies.

To do this, we will set up a role-playing game around a controversy, always adopting a humanities perspective. Different groups of actors will be in charge of defending a different point of view and a different posture during a final debate.
