Proposal for a Model Ethics Center for Engineering & Science on the World Wide Web

万维网（WWW）和互联网是工程和科学的前沿通信环境，并正在迅速成为其他学科教育创新者的首选环境。 本计画将在网际网路上建构一个科学与工程伦理学中心。 该中心将作为一个模范网络道德中心，展示网络的潜力，汇集各种现有的材料，使他们能够提供给不同的用户群体。 主题将包括研究道德、工程师和科学家的职业道德以及与研究道德和职业道德有关的政策问题， 包括医学研究中出现的研究伦理问题。 万维网伦理中心将为学生，从业人员，研究人员和科学和工程教师，以及科学和工程伦理学学者提供服务。 该中心将提供支持，以制定对伦理问题的反应;对工程和科学中普遍出现的伦理问题的信息和知情思考;获得科学和工程伦理教育资源;以及为教育工作者提供一个论坛，以传播他们的教育创新。

The World Wide Web (WWW) and the Internet are the cutting edge communication environments for engineering and science, and are fast becoming the environment of choice for education innovators in other disciplines as well. This project will construct on the WWW an Ethics Center for Science and Engineering. The center will serve as a model web ethics center, demonstrating the potential of the web to bring together a variety of existing materials and make them available to a diverse population of users. The subject matter will include research ethics, professional ethics for engineers and scientists, and policy questions that bear on research ethics and professional ethics, including questions of research ethics which arise in medical research. The WWW Ethics Center will serve students, practitioners, researchers, and science and engineering instructors, as well as scholars in science and engineering ethics. The Center will provide support for developing responses to ethical problems; information and informed reflection on the ethical issues that commonly arise in engineering and science; access to educational resources in science and engineering ethics; and a forum for educators to disseminate their educational innovations.
