Abstract:

This module began as a modification of the Gray Matters activity that is used in ethics training workshops at the Boeing corporation. (See Carolyn Whitbeck, Ethics in Engineering Practice and Research, 176-181 for a more detailed history.) This version is based on short decision-making scenarios provided by engineers participating in ethics workshops. Students practice integrating ethical considerations into realistic decision-making situations. This module is being developed as a part of an NSF-funded project, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF SES 0551779.
