This paper was presented at the 2008 Engineering Conference - Innovation Good Practice and Research in Engineering Education.
Workshop Overview
Ethics in engineering is a topic which is rapidly moving up the teaching agenda. The current challenge faced by engineering educators is how to teach ethics in a way that is consistent with the needs of their students. This workshop will introduce participants to a teaching resource which enables ethical content to be introduced to students in engineering.
Workshop activities will include the firsthand experience of an ethics case study introduction to a database of case studies and other electronic resources for teaching ethics and the opportunity to discuss the challenges of teaching ethics to engineers with experienced practitioners.
