Engineering for connecting technologies with society from societal perspectives

It is important for engineering to be connected with society. It is commendable if the technologies that you have developed are used in society, enriching the life of many people and making them happy. To that end, it is essential to know how technologies are used in society, how they have impacted society and, at a time, examine them calmly from social perspectives. Our laboratory has been conducting research mainly on how information and other technologies relate to society through the use of social scientific approaches.
