	MIT OpenCourseWare \| Political Science
		The Political Science Department was formally established in 1955, within what was then the Department of Economics and Social Science, as part of a broad effort to develop research and training at MIT in the social sciences.
		The nucleus of a Political Science faculty had already been formed within the Center for International Studies, a pioneering, interdisciplinary research center working on American foreign policy and security issues, economic and political development in the Third World, Communist societies, and international communication.
		Political Science became an independent department in 1965, offering an undergraduate major and a Master's degree, as well as the Ph.D. For more information, go to http://web.mit.edu/polisci/.

	Social engineering (political science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social engineering is a concept in political science that refers to efforts to systematically manage popular attitudes and social behavior on a large scale, whether by governments or private groups.
		For instance, political conservatives in the United States have accused their opponents of "social engineering" through their promotion of political correctness, on the basis that political correctness is an attempt to change social attitudes by defining "acceptable" and "unacceptable" language.
		The development of social science made it possible to gather and analyze information about social attitudes and trends, which is necessary in order to judge the initial state of society before an engineering attempt and the success or failure of that attempt after it has been implemented.

		Political rationalists don’t foresee the unintended consequences of uprooting long-established institutions and social practices that have well-served human needs.
		Scott shows that such authoritarian social engineering fundamentally misjudges the nature of man and society: Ordinary human beings are far too naturally independent, and society too diffuse and complex, to justify "scientific" intervention in every aspect of human life.
		Compared with the work of the engineer that of the merchant is in a sense much more "social," that is, interwoven with the free activities of other people. His special knowledge is almost entirely knowledge of particular circumstances of time or place.

	RENASCENT PRAGMATISM: STUDIES IN LAW AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
		This social science, as depicted by Morales, and represented by the essays of the volume, is avowedly instrumental, as it is uncompromisingly concerned with "active control of ourselves and our environment" (p.xii)-what a half-century or so ago was called "social engineering"-while it treats "intellectual problems….
		Readers interested in pragmatism, law, social science, and public policy, but who are less familiar with debates in one or more of those corners, should have no problem understanding the whys and wherefores of the briefs.
		It requires that social scientists establish, by observation and empirical analysis, what constitutes human conduct and its auxiliary consequences; then analysts should, by observations and empirical analysis, determine the extent to which that conduct and its consequences are consistent with stated intentions of the actors.

	Evolutionary Ethics
		Social evolution in this light acts as an extension of the same biological processes observed in lower organisms where it appears that tight hierarchical organization and efficient survival strategies further the life of many types of organisms.
		To the contrary, in cybernetic ethics the linkage to science is not an analysis of the sentiments rather an analysis of a cybernetic process.
		Or that political science, which at its foundation is primarily the study of applied ethics, is so frequently problematic.

	Engineering As Applied Social Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In this paper, I use the case of the defective rear cargo door on the DC-10 aircraft and specifically the actions of the chief engineer at Convair to illustrate the sometimes frustrating problem of deciding just what skills are most useful to engineers if they are to best serve the public need.
		I suggest that although colleges of engineering are required by society (and accrediting agencies) to prepare engineers to solve technical problems using applied natural sciences such as physics and chemistry, they also should require engineering students to obtain a background in social sciences such as economics, political science, management, and ethics.
		I argue that engineering should therefore be thought of as not only an “applied natural science,” but also an “applied social science.”
