This subject looks for taking the students out of the most technical concepts of Telecommunication Engineering and centering them in the society in which they live: it pretends that they take consciousness that the activity of the engineer is not an isolated fact but it transforms the world (at small and at large scale). This leads to two fundamental ideas:
1) The society, people that conform it, have problems that can be resolved by the engineers: the function of the Engineering is to resolve or mitigate problems of the society in which it frames , not to create them. Knowing how it has resolved situations in the past can help to face problems in the future (history oriented to future action, no to the contemplation of the past).
2) The engineering activities have direct influence in the own society, in how people live or in how they relate. In fact, the big changes of the last decades have been starred directly by contributions of the field of the Engineering of Telecommunication. This influence has to go accompanied of taking of consciousness of the ethical responsibility.
