Institute for Science, Technology, Ethics, and Policy

这项建议将支持在工程、科学和伦理的界面上开设课程的概念。教育学生和教师认真考虑道德决定需要组织实践课程，展示如何在与科学家和工程师的研究和专业实践相关的许多活动中涉及的选择应该在道德参数的框架内。这些参数进一步由区分需求和期望的文化和社会政治条件决定。该计划将吸引哲学教师，以及工程、工业和政策专业人员。第一门课程的重点将是与计算机技术的发展和使用有关的问题。来自埃尔帕索地区的教师将参与其中，使一些大学能够参与其中。在这个跨学科、国际化和多文化的正式计划中，一个重要的任务将是与其他几个参与者如何在定义身份和任务中扮演角色的道德本质达成协议。将同一个咨询小组查明其他有关问题。夏季研讨会将开始跨学科的探索。

This proposal will support the initiation of a concept for courses at the interface of engineering and science and ethics. Educating students and faculty to regard attentively ethical determinations entails organizing hands-on coursework that demonstrate how the choices involved in the many activities associated with the research and professional practices of scientists and engineers should be framed in ethical parameters. These parameters are further determined by cultural and socio-political conditions that differentiate both needs and expectations. The plan will engage philosophy faculty, along with engineering and industry and policy professional. The focus for the first course will be issues related to computer technology development and use. Faculty will be engaged from around the El Paso region, enable participation by a number of Universities. In the interdisciplinary, international, and multi-cultural formal planned, an essential task will be to come to terms with the ethical nature of how each of the several other participants plays roles in defining identity and tasks. Additional relevant issues will be identified with an Advisory team. A summer seminar will begin the cross-disciplinary exploration.
