In order to complete the Society, Technology and Values (STV) option, students must complete STV 400, an independent research course which normally requires students to submit a research essay. The list below contains the name, academic plan, title, and year of past projects. This is not a complete list but a select one intended to provide a glimpse of what has been done and to demonstrate the diversity of STV students.
