Ethical Issues in Physics: Survey, Workshop, and Text Development. Concern on the part of some physicists regarding ethical issues in physics is amply demonstrated through articles in various publications directed toward physicists, sessions organized by the Forum on Physics and Society at American Physical Society meetings, and discussions during the recent Ethical Issues in Physics Workshop held at Eastern Michigan University. In this project, the PIs propose to survey members of the physics academic community to determine which universities are most interested in incorporating ethical issues into their physics curricula and what topics they would be most interested in seeing in an ethics text. Another survey of physicists in industrial and governmental labs will seek to determine what formal training in ethical issues would be beneficial to students whose careers take them in that direction. A second workshop will be held to extend the recently distributed Ethical Issues In Physics Workshop Proceedings to produce a text suitable for a one term, one hour per week seminar course for advanced undergraduates and graduate students majoring in physics. This text would be placed in the public domain to encourage as wide a usage as possible.

物理学中的伦理问题：调查、研讨会和文本开发。一些物理学家对物理学伦理问题的关注充分体现在针对物理学家的各种出版物的文章中，在美国物理学会会议上由物理学与社会论坛组织的会议，以及最近在东密歇根大学举行的物理学伦理问题研讨会上的讨论。在这个项目中，pi建议调查物理学术界的成员，以确定哪些大学最感兴趣将伦理问题纳入其物理课程，以及他们最感兴趣在伦理学文本中看到哪些主题。另一项针对工业实验室和政府实验室物理学家的调查将试图确定，什么样的伦理问题正式培训对那些从事这一职业的学生有益。将举行第二次研讨会，以扩展最近分发的《物理研讨会论文集中的伦理问题》，以制作适合于物理专业高级本科生和研究生每周一学期一小时的研讨会课程的文本。该文本将置于公共领域，以鼓励尽可能广泛的使用。
