Ethics Advising Project

This project is part of an experimental study of ethics in engineering and education of engineering and humanities students. The goal of the project is to deepen your understanding of the role of ethics and values in science and technology by having you work together in groups as “ethics consultants” for engineering students working on their Senior Design Projects (SDP).

Since this assignment is part of a research study, you must read and understand the informed consent information.

Project stages:

  1. First meeting with assigned SDP team. (Weeks 5-8)
    • First meeting instructions (print and bring to meeting)
