An Experiential Pedagogy for Sustainability Ethics

这个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工作，为科学工程研究生创造一种新的可持续发展伦理教学法。它将创造一个协作的课堂环境，吸引理工科学生？偏好实验学习和团队合作，探索不同的道德方法，在可持续发展的问题，使用基于游戏，审议和参与设置。最终，这个项目将连接科学工程研究生在几个校园，使用信息通信技术工具，以创建一个智力多样化的学习社区并行学习。该项目将在主办大学独特的综合研究生教育项目中试点新颖的游戏模块，创建一个教师研讨会，以培训新教学方法的额外教师，并最终吸引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，该项目将提高科学家和工程师解决问题的技能，他们最终将加入一支技术队伍，为迎接可持续发展的挑战做好更充分的准备。

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
