STS considers proposals that examine historical, philosophical, and sociological questions that arise in connection with science, engineering, and technology, and their respective interactions with society. STS has four components:

1. Ethics and Values in Science, Engineering and Technology (EVS),
2. History and Philosophy of Science, Engineering and Technology (HPS),
3. Social Studies of Science, Engineering and Technology (SSS),
4. Studies ...
