CCTP 5006: Fundamentals of Technology Student Projects

CCT strives to investigate technology as a dynamic part of social life. We study how technology, communication, and culture shape human interaction. But to get the complete picture, we must also investigate technology itself. This course is about how to do that.

“It was fascinating for me to delve into Capital Bikeshare, a technology I rely on everyday. Since our technology was smaller and local, we reached out and were able to interview some of the founders and current leaders in CaBi. This was super helpful for our ‘motivations and power players’ section and also in understanding the organizational structure of the various private companies and government institutions involved”

“Before this class, I was really intimidated by the idea of delving into the complexities of sociotechnical systems. I am by no means a techie, and had no idea where to even begin. By the end of course I felt confident in my ability to discuss technology and analyze organizational structures at a level I hadn’t even previously considered. 5006 changed the way I approach my research– regardless of the subject matter”

“When I think of 5006, the first few words which come are structured, demanding, teamwork and rewarding. The inputs and outputs of the class are unlike any other class I have attended. Of the the major takeaways for me was practicing effective note-taking while reading”.

Archit Mehta, CCT ’25

“Working on this project was like climbing a mountain! It was so fulfilling to see the pieces adding up on our board and being able to tell how far we had come every week. Hanging the poster was truly the most gratifying moment of this semester. This experience in 5006 taught me the essence of creative research, attention to detail, the importance of compromise, and, most importantly – to be a team player!”
