An Experiential Pedagogy for Sustainability Ethics

这一科学与工程伦理教育项目将整合多机构、跨学科的教育和研究努力，为理工科研究生创建一种新的可持续发展伦理教育法。它将创造一个协作的课堂环境，吸引理工科学生？倾向于实验学习和团队合作，利用基于游戏、深思熟虑和参与性的环境，探索解决可持续发展问题的不同伦理方法。最终，该项目将把几个校区的理工科研究生联系起来，利用信息通信技术工具创建一个智力多元化的并行学习社区。该项目将在主办大学的独特、综合的研究生教育计划中试验新颖的游戏模块，创建一个教师研讨会，目的是培训更多的教师掌握新的教学方法，并最终让几所大学参与植根于不同科学、技术和工程学科的可持续发展计划。最后，这个项目将提高科学家和工程师解决问题的能力，他们最终将加入一支准备更好地迎接可持续发展挑战的技术队伍。

This Ethics Education in Science and Engineering project will integrate multi-institutional, cross-disciplinary education and research efforts to create a novel pedagogy of sustainability ethics for science & engineering graduate students. It will create a collaborative classroom setting that draws on science & engineering students? predilection for experimental learning and teamwork to explore different ethical approaches to problems in sustainability using a game-based, deliberative and participatory setting. Ultimately, this project will link science & engineering graduate students on several campuses, using information-communication technology tools to create an intellectually diverse learning community studying in parallel. This project will pilot novel game modules in unique, integrative graduate education programs at the host Universities, create an Instructor workshop for the purpose of training additional faculty in the new teaching methods, and ultimately engage several Universities with sustainability programs rooted in different science, technology and engineering disciplines. Lastly, this project will enhance the problem-solving skills of scientists & engineers who will ultimately join a technical workforce that is better prepared to meet the challenge of sustainability
