#10 Learning to think critically

IIIT Bangalore's flexible and holistic curriculum ensures engineering students of the integrated MTech program take up courses from the fields of economics, sociology, web sciences, HCI and so on. This enables students with critical thinking skills and sensitivity to various aspects of technology development. So far in the past episodes, we discussed a few of these aspects with faculty members but as season one comes to an end we wanted to capture the experience of the students who took some of these courses. We have 4 iMTech students across various batches: Aditya Gulati (2016-21), Nithin Raj (2017-22), Aarushi Goenka (2018-23) and Neetha Reddy (2018-23) who share their stories and perspectives over the integration of Humanities and Social Studies (HSS)/Digital Society courses with core engineering curriculum.
