Book Description
Project HINDSIGHT is a study of the recent science and technology which has been utilized by the Department of Defense in weapon systems. As a consequence, the focus is primarily on the physical and engineering sciences and related technologies. The effort has two basic objectives: (1) to identify and firmly establish management factors for research and technology programs which have been associated with the utilization of the results produced by these programs; and (2) to measure the overall increase in cost-effectiveness in the current generation of weapon systems compared to their predecessors (when such can be identified) which is assignable to any part of the total DOD investment in research and technology.

The Social Construction of Technological Systems, anniversary edition
Author: Wiebe E. BijkerPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262517604
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
An anniversary edition of an influential book that introduced a groundbreaking approach to the study of science, technology, and society. This pioneering book, first published in 1987, launched the new field of social studies of technology. It introduced a method of inquiry—social construction of technology, or SCOT—that became a key part of the wider discipline of science and technology studies. The book helped the MIT Press shape its STS list and inspired the Inside Technology series. The thirteen essays in the book tell stories about such varied technologies as thirteenth-century galleys, eighteenth-century cooking stoves, and twentieth-century missile systems. Taken together, they affirm the fruitfulness of an approach to the study of technology that gives equal weight to technical, social, economic, and political questions, and they demonstrate the illuminating effects of the integration of empirics and theory. The approaches in this volume—collectively called SCOT (after the volume's title) have since broadened their scope, and twenty-five years after the publication of this book, it is difficult to think of a technology that has not been studied from a SCOT perspective and impossible to think of a technology that cannot be studied that way.
