GILEE: Establishing a Graduate Interdisciplinary Liberal Engineering Ethics Curriculum

在这个项目中，一个由工程科学、工程、人文和商业教育工作者组成的团队正在开发一门研究生跨学科的通识工程伦理课程，称为GILEE。它解决了工程伦理和文化认同问题如何在全球化的工作场所中必然交织在一起，并有四个方面的方法：1)为有兴趣过渡到研究生院的研究生和大四学生开发一门课程，该课程将包括各种道德培训模块；2)开展面向学生和教师的双轨暑期培训工作坊；3)建立一系列研讨会，由学者、实践者和高级研究生就工程伦理相关问题发言；4)将伦理问题纳入博士初试，并要求研究生在考试中提出伦理学习模块。该团队包括来自弗吉尼亚理工大学、北卡罗来纳农工州立大学和芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的合作伙伴。测试机构包括意大利米兰理工大学（Politecnico di Milano）和印度贾达夫普尔大学（Jadavpur University）。评价和评价计划包括形成性评价和总结性评价。GILEE的课程以工程教育、科学技术研究、哲学和商业管理的相关研究文献为基础，建立了一个由工程、人文和商业研究生组成的社区，让他们更好地了解彼此的学科，从而更好地准备成为日益多样化的社会及其劳动力中富有成效和协作的成员。更广泛的影响是国内和国际的研究生在科学和工程。它提供了一种整合指导项目、基础设施开发、教师能力建设和研究生参与项目开发的方法。

GILEE: Graduate Interdisciplinary Liberal Engineering Ethics In this project, a team of engineering science, engineering, humanities andbusiness educators is developing a graduate interdisciplinary liberal engineering ethics curriculum, known as GILEE. It addresses how issues of engineering ethics and cultural identities are necessarily intertwined within a globalized workplace and has a four-prong approach: 1) develop a course for graduate students and seniors interested in transitioning to graduate school, which will consist of various ethics training modules; 2) conduct a two-track summer training workshop, one for students and the other for faculty; 3) establish a seminar series in which scholars, practitioners, and senior graduate students speak on matters related to engineering ethics; and 4) include ethical issues in the Ph.D. preliminary examination and require graduate students to present ethics learning modules as part of the examination. The team includes partners from Virginia Tech, North Carolina A&T State University, and University of Illinois at Chicago. Test institutions include Politecnico di Milano, Italy and Jadavpur University, India. The evaluation and assessment plan includes both formative and summative evaluations. The GILEE curriculum is grounded in the relevant research literatures of engineering education, science and technology studies, philosophy, and business management and builds a community of graduate students from engineering, humanities, and business who better understand each other's disciplines and are thus better prepared to be productive and collaborative members of an increasingly diverse society and its workforce.Broader impacts are both national and international for graduate students in science and engineering. It offers a method to integrate mentoring programs, infrastructure development, faculty capacity building, and graduate-student involvement in program development.
