Abstract
The goal of this effort was to create and assess a graduate-level course that provides students an experiential learning experience that instills a deep understanding and appreciation of the complicated ethical, legal, policy and societal implications of new technologies. A key component of the course was to have students from different disciplines work together to solve a project posed by a sponsor.
