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.

这一建议将支持工程学、科学和伦理学课程概念的提出。 教育学生和教师认真对待道德决定需要组织动手课程，展示如何参与与科学家和工程师的研究和专业实践相关的许多活动的选择应该在道德参数框架。 这些参数还取决于区分需求和期望的文化和社会政治条件。 该计划将吸引哲学系，沿着工程，工业和政策专业人士。 第一期课程的重点将是与计算机技术开发和使用有关的问题。 教师将从埃尔帕索地区周围从事，使一些大学的参与。 在跨学科、国际化和多文化的正式计划中，一项重要的任务将是接受其他几个参与者中的每一个如何在定义身份和任务方面发挥作用的伦理性质。将与咨询小组一起确定其他相关问题。 暑期研讨会将开始跨学科的探索。
