We encourage undergraduate Commerce students from second level and above to consider CHALLENG 2CC3 as a potential general elective.
We explore selected critical challenges for humanity, including energy needs and climate change, deployment of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering and confronting the possibilities of nuclear and biological warfare. We present relevant key concepts in science, engineering, social science and humanities and apply them to help to understand the scale of these challenges and their potential impacts on future humanity, including social, environmental and economic implications.
If you have any questions about the course, feel free to write to Dr. Haugen at haugenh@mcmaster.ca.
