在本章中,作者旨在探讨基于当前教育系统中学习“硬”知识和“软”技能之间的差距,将伦理教学作为工程教育的一部分的必要性。他们讨论了为什么工程实践的本质使得很难超越处理工程设计问题,识别知识和风险感知之间的差异,以及如何管理这种紧张关系。他们还探讨了发展工程师道德责任的重要性,以及技术和工程人性化的必要性,因为技术产品不是价值中立的。以基于问题的学习(PBL)为重点,作者研究了为什么工程师需要在他们的决策过程和专业任务中纳入道德准则。最后,他们讨论了如何建立创造性的学习环境,以支持实现工程教育的目标。
In this chapter, the authors aim to explore the necessity of teaching ethics as part of engineering education based on the gaps between learning “hard” knowledge and “soft” skills in the current educational system. They discuss why the nature of engineering practices makes it difficult to look beyond dealing with engineering design problems, identify the difference between knowledge and risk perceptions, and how to manage such tensions. They also explore the importance of developing moral responsibilities of engineers and the need to humanize technology and engineering, as technological products are not value neutral. With a focus on Problem-Based Learning (PBL), the authors examine why engineers need to incorporate ethical codes in their decision-making process and professional tasks. Finally, they discuss how to build creative learning environments that can support attaining the objectives of engineering education.
