Nik asked:

I have a friend who was going for an electrical engineering degree when he wrote an excellent paper
for English and was "discovered" by the philosophy department. They have convinced him to get a
degree in philosophy but he is going to also get his degree in electrical engineering. Combining the
two create a sort of 'scientific philosophy.' He was explaining a relatively new movement called the
Human Project that explored man's ultimate goals with technology. Do we want to better the world for
us or are we trying to conquer it. Do you have more information on this idea? Web sites, books,
names of philosophers, or anything published at all. Thanks.
