Title
Designing Ethics: Exploring the Integration of Ethics into Engineering Curricula
Course Description
Many engineering challenges contain thorny moral questions, yet ethical considerations are often secondary to the technical aspects of engineering curricula. In fact, nationwide ethics is rarely addressed in standard engineering disciplinary courses at Duke or elsewhere. This course seeks provide a blueprint and testing ground for addressing this gap. Students will work to research best practices from the educational and private sectors. Incorporating those insights with a study of the landscape of Engineering design education at Duke, students will design interventions that may be deployed in Duke Engineering classes. Instructor consent required.
