About This Course
Work that’s done in IT has ripple effects that stretch outward to other individuals, teams, and even global networks. In this course, students learn how IT is woven into systems and groups we don’t always expect. Students focus on understanding the perspectives of different groups that are touched by the work IT professionals perform, instilling a broader viewpoint. Students will spend time examining how governments, cultures, and societies impact—or are impacted by—IT. In this Writing Intensive course, students will complete three papers about how the individual, team, and global viewpoints affect how a single IT project is completed, as well as how that project will affect society.
