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.

万维网(WWW)和互联网是工程和科学的前沿交流环境，也正在迅速成为其他学科教育创新者的首选环境。该项目将在WWW上建立一个科学与工程伦理中心。该中心将作为示范网络伦理中心，展示网络的潜力，将各种现有材料汇集在一起，并向不同的用户群体提供这些材料。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道德问题。WWW伦理中心将为学生、从业者、研究人员、科学和工程教师以及科学和工程伦理方面的学者提供服务。该中心将为以下方面提供支持：制定对伦理问题的回应；对工程和科学中常见的伦理问题进行信息和知情的思考；获取科学和工程伦理方面的教育资源；以及为教育工作者提供一个论坛，以传播他们的教育创新。
