BE303/EAS 303 provides an overview of the ethical and professional responsibilities of engineers, as engineering professionals, as members of engineering organizations, and as researchers and developers and users of technology. The course will emphasize ethical issues related to the creation and use of technology, although other issues related to the professional development of engineers will also be considered. In addition to sensitizing students to ethical issues, this course will place a strong emphasis on developing skills to properly analyze and communicate these issues in writing and through oral presentations. The course will involve extensive student presentations in the analysis of case studies, preparation of written arguments, role playing, and debates in the analysis of real-world situations involving ethical conflicts. The case studies will be chosen to reflect the full range of engineering fields and disciplines.
