Appropriate technology can be roughly defined as technology that best suits the economic, social, environmental, and political as well as technological needs of the people employing it. It is apparent from this definition that the development and analysis of appropriate technologies requires the consideration of elements from multiple fields.

Using case studies and a design project, students will examine the economic and anthropological as well as technical aspects of problems in developing countries.
