Becoming the Online Resource Center for Ethics Education in Engineering and Science

该奖项将资助创建一个在线工程与科学伦理中心(OEC)，它将是现有的国家工程院？S(NAE)在线工程与研究伦理中心(OEC)的扩展，包括美国国家科学基金会支持的所有领域的资源。与伊利诺伊理工学院职业道德研究中心(CSEP)的道德教育图书馆(EEL)合作，将提供比OEC所容纳的更广泛的材料，并促进与其他与道德相关的信息库的互动。OEC将制定伦理培训的最佳做法，在国家和国际范围内促进对科学、数学和工程中的伦理问题的研究，并作为多媒体材料的活资源，可用于培训当代和未来一代科学家、数学家和工程师在伦理和负责任的研究行为方面的培训。在线伦理中心将帮助教育工作者、研究人员、管理人员、本科生和研究生、博士后研究员以及执业科学家和工程师了解有关伦理和科学、数学和工程伦理教育的现有知识范围。这个资源中心的目的之一是帮助学者和机构满足NSF执行《美国竞争法》第7009条的要求，创造机会，通过在NSF支持的所有领域提供高质量的案例研究、最佳实践和伦理学原创奖学金，有意义地促进技术、教育和科学(美国竞争)法案的卓越。

This award will fund the creation of an Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science (OEC) which will be an expansion of the existing National Academy of Engineering?s (NAE) Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Research (OEC) to include resources for all the fields that NSF supports. Collaboration with the Ethics Education Library (EEL) of the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions (CSEP) at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) will provide access to a wider array of materials than will be housed in the OEC and promote interactions with other repositories of ethics-related information. The OEC will develop best practices in ethics training, foster research on ethical issues in science, mathematics, and engineering in both national and international contexts, and serve as a living resource of multimedia materials that may be used to train current and future generations of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers in ethics and responsible conduct of research. The Online Ethics Center will help educators, researchers, administrators, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and practicing scientists and engineers understand the scope of existing knowledge about both ethics and ethics education in science, mathematics, and engineering. One of the intents of this resource center is to help scholars and institutions meet NSF's implementation of Section 7009 of the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (America COMPETES) Act by providing easy access to high quality case studies, best practices, and original scholarship in ethics in all of the fields that NSF supports.
