Publication: Issues in Engineering: Journal of Professional Activities
Volume 107, Issue 3
Abstract
Ethics and ethical decisions pertaining to engineering practice can be taught as an elective or required undergraduate course. A case study is proposed utilizing sample cases. This utilizes analyses of assigned cases, oral presentations, written analyses, outside speakers, interviews with practicing engineers, and videotapes as a means of exposing the students to actual conditions encountered in practice. Procedures of conducting, methods of grading, and methods of evaluation of a typical course are included. Recommendations are included for planning such a course.
