GILEE: Establishing a Graduate Interdisciplinary Liberal Engineering Ethics Curriculum

GILEE：研究生跨学科自由工程伦理学在这个项目中，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个跨学科的研究生自由工程伦理学课程，被称为GILEE。它阐述了工程伦理和文化认同问题如何在全球化的工作场所中相互交织在一起，并采取了四管齐下的方法：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，其中将包括各种伦理培训模块；2)举办一个双轨暑期培训讲习班，一个针对学生，另一个针对教师；3)建立一个研讨会系列，让学者、从业者和高级研究生就与工程伦理相关的问题发表演讲；以及4)将伦理问题纳入博士初试，并要求研究生将伦理学习模块作为考试的一部分。该团队包括来自弗吉尼亚理工大学、北卡罗来纳农工大学和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的合作伙伴。测试机构包括意大利米兰理工大学和印度贾达夫布尔大学。评价和评估计划包括形成性评价和终结性评价。GILEE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，建立了一个由来自工程、人文和商业的研究生组成的社区，他们更好地了解彼此的学科，从而更好地为成为日益多样化的社会和劳动力中的富有成效和合作的成员做好准备。对理工科研究生来说，广泛的影响是国内和国际的。它提供了一种方法，将指导计划、基础设施建设、教师能力建设和研究生参与计划开发结合在一起。

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.
