He has a Ph.D. in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara (1994). His dissertation was about the portrayal of science in postmodernist fiction. He has published scholarly articles on science fiction, literature, television, film, and music. His most recent work includes a paper presented at two conferences about the design of university-level science fiction courses, using science fiction to teach the ethics of technology. He also gave a talk on Doctor Who and the critique of capitalism. At the end of 2011, his book on the humanism of Doctor Who will be published

Focusing on the historical design and evolutionof certain kinds of technology allows students to develop an understanding and appreciation ofthe origins of technology and fundamentally asks how technology works and why it developed in Page 15.1350.2the way it did. Technological philosophy courses encourage students to question technology, itsmoral and ethical purposes, and how technology fits within society. Both approaches haveproven valuable in the field of technological literacy.Course OverviewThis course is innovative in both the content and the curriculum design

. Project management – In the past, the laboratory instructor set the weekly schedule of tasks to be completed. This insulated students from a critical skill in project management - setting realistic milestones that lead to project completion on time. We wanted the students to set their own project schedules within reason. 5. Professionalism and ethics – Recently, the technical and business worlds have been ripe with unethical professional conduct. While the headlines focus on executive officers and pols, we preferred ethics for entry-level engineers. In addition to Lockheed Martin’s “Ethics Challenge” role-play system, we included classroom discussion of case studies taken from industry. 6. Independent
