Engineering Ethics

Catalog description

Real-world engineering problems require engineers with theoretical mastery of their chosen field as well as dexterity with a broad range of conceptual and practical tools. Professional ethics as well as the concepts and practical applications of field research and ethnography are introduced. Students research, discuss, and analyze relevant aspects of engineering ethics case studies and apply learned techniques of cultural discovery to reflect on the challenges, opportunities, and aspirations of communities within which students will be embedded as active participant observers.
