characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of current and emerging
technologies is indispensable to wise and effective decisions and practices
in government, business, and personal life. At all levels and in all
disciplines, careers in industry, government, and education ever more turn on
the ability to see and seize the opportunities and address the problems that
technology often presents. Technological developments are indeed re-defining
those very careers and changing the workplace itself.
an M.S. in Technological Systems Management in one of the following areas of concentration: or a Ph.D. in Technology, Policy, and Innovation Additionally, a student may obtain an Advanced Graduate Certificate in the following areas:
Students take a common core of 6 credits, a block of 15 credits specific to their concentration, and 9 credits of electives. A master’s project also must be completed by students in Environmental and Waste Management and Educational Computing concentrations. Both part-time and full-time students are accepted. Teaching or research assistantships are available to full-time students who qualify. Facilities Graduate students enrolled in the Department of Technology and Society have access to several computing facilities. The University maintains a wide range of mainframe facilities and personal computing laboratories. However, the department uses its two in-house, state-of-the-art computer laboratories as hands-on enhancements of the graduate student’s experience. The first lab has 20 Pentium Desktop computers that operate as stand-alones or within a basic network environment. The lab is integrated into the campus WAN, with full Internet access and a wide array of educational, academic, and professional software. Video cameras, scanners, printers, laptops, and a projection system are available for student use within the lab. The second computer laboratory is used for research and teaching related to computer-supported collaboration, E-learning technologies, and emerging educational technologies. The lab, available for faculty and students, consists of 20 laptop computers on a cart and 20 desktop computers. Both labs are designed for student work and as open laboratories to give students the broadest, in-depth exposure to information technologies. The Department of Technology and Society is also a major contributor to three research centers at Stony Brook (the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center (AERTC), the Center for Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT), and the Center for Interdisciplinary Environment Research) and collaborates with scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Students working on research projects will have access to the facilities as appropriate for their project. Admission Admission to the M.S. and Ph.D. programs is handled separately by the departmental admissions committee. Prospective M.S. students should follow the application deadlines indicated in the links to concentrations (Energy and Environmental Systems, Educational Technology, and Global Operations Management). The deadline for submission of applications for the following Fall semester for prospective Ph.D. students is February 1. The requirements for admission to graduate study in this department include: A. A bachelors degree in engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, or a closely related area from an accredited college or university. For admission to the Energy and Environmental Systems concentration of the M.S., one year of calculus (MAT 131, 132 or equivalent) is required. For admission to the Global Operations Management concentration of the M.S., an introductory calculus course (MAT 123 or equivalent) is required. B.
