US-Qatar Workshops: Engineering Ethics for a Globalized World, Doha, Qatar, October 2011 and College Station, Texas, October 2012

1066174墨菲，得克萨斯州A M大学提案摘要：这个项目是为美国参与者，包括教授和学生的支持-一个研讨会？全球化世界的工程伦理，卡塔尔多哈，2011年10月？联合组织者是卡塔尔德克萨斯农工大学的哈桑巴希尔博士。 该计划是在卡塔尔的研讨会之后，第二个在得克萨斯州A M在学院站，得克萨斯州在2012年。 第一个研讨会将集中于确定全球化挑战工程道德标准和教育的确切方式。它将包括以下方面的会议：（1）全球化;（2）西方工程法规在非西方环境中的相关性;（3）国际环境中许可证的挑战;（4）工程实践的全球差异;（5）国际环境中工程伦理教学的教学挑战;（6）西方和非西方道德观点的比较;（7）国际环境中工程伦理的教学挑战。（7）西方与非西方道德决策方法的比较。 第二次讲习班将侧重于制定应对第一次讲习班所确定的挑战的对策。它将包括以下方面的会议：（1）国际道德守则的可能性;（2）工程实践国际化的标准和限制;（3）专业和注册国际标准的可能性;（4）国际工程道德课程的可能性;和（5）在多元化世界中国际标准和国际课程的合理性。国际工程师协会和工程伦理学研究所通过开设工程伦理学课程和编写工程伦理学教科书，在工程伦理学教育方面发挥了重要作用。虽然全球化正在明显发生，而且人们认识到有必要制定一套国际工程道德标准，但一直没有系统地处理工程道德守则、执照考试、必须修改课程，使其适合国际受众和全球化的专业环境，并与之相关。拟议的讲习班将是解决这些问题的首批国际努力之一。PI和外国合作者在工程，哲学和政治学方面的背景使他们非常适合组织研讨会，并在日益全球化的背景下汇集工程实践和教育的技术，道德和社会/政治方面的知识和专业知识。更广泛的影响：工程研究和教育具有日益全球化的特点。这就提出了工程师应该如何在不同的文化和制度框架之间进行裁决的重要问题。拟议的讲习班对工程道德标准和教育有直接影响，有助于确定和编制教育工程师了解和考虑其工作的社会层面和影响所需的材料。 来自美国和其他国家的一些女科学家将参加讲习班。

1066174 Murphy, Texas A&M UniversitySummary of Proposal: This project is for support for US participants, including professors and students - to a workshop on ?Engineering Ethics for a Globalized World, Doha, Qatar, October 2011? The co-Organizer is Dr. Hassan Bashir, at Texas A&M University in Qatar. The plan is for the workshop in Qatar to be followed by a second one at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas in 2012. The first workshop will concentrate on identifying the precise ways that globalization challenges engineering ethics standards and education. It will include sessions on (1) globalization; (2) the relevance of Western engineering codes in non-Western contexts; (3) challenges in licensure in an international context; (4) global differences in engineering practice; (5) pedagogical challenges in teaching engineering ethics in an international context; (6) comparison of Western and non-Western moral perspectives; and (7) comparison of Western and non-Western approaches to moral decision-making. The second workshop will focus on formulating responses to the challenges identified in the first workshop. It will include sessions on (1) the possibility of an international code of ethics; (2) the standards and limits of internationalization in engineering practice; (3) the possibility of international standards of professionalism and registration; (4) the possibility of an international engineering ethics curriculum; and (5) the justification of international standards and an international curriculum in a pluralistic world. The PIs, and TAMU, have played an important role in engineering ethics education through establishing a course and authoring a textbook on engineering ethics.Intellectual merit: While globalization is clearly taking place and the need to develop an international set of standards for engineering ethics is recognized, there has been no systematic treatment of why and how engineering ethics codes, licensure examinations, and curricula must be modified to make them appropriate for and relevant to an international audience and globalized professional setting. The proposed workshops will be among the first international efforts to address these issues. The backgrounds of the PIs and foreign collaborator in engineering, philosophy, and political science make them quite suited to organize the workshops and to bring together knowledge and expertise in the technical, moral, and social/political dimensions of engineering practice and education in an increasingly globalized context. Broader impacts: Engineering research and education has an increasingly globalized character. This raises significant issues about how engineers should adjudicate among different cultural and institutional frameworks. The proposed workshops have direct implications for engineering ethics standards and education, helping to identify and develop the materials required to educate engineers to understand and take into account the social dimensions and implications of their work. Several female scientists from the US and from other countries will participate in the workshops.
