A U.S.-Russian Partnership for Workshops on Engineering Ethics, 1997-1998.

该项目将在俄罗斯组织和举办一系列关于工程伦理的三个讲习班。 对于俄罗斯的教育工作者和学者，该项目将协助编制将道德教育纳入工程教育的材料和战略。 对于美国的参与者来说，这将是一个重新评估工程伦理课程的方法和内容的机会。 俄罗斯工程师，适应经济，民主化和机构重组的变化，面临着职业道德和社会责任的新问题：对公共安全和有问题的技术，知识产权问题的关注，以及道德和技术标准的发展。 工程伦理教育有助于解决这些问题，一个规模虽小但不断壮大的俄罗斯网络有兴趣与美国同行合作，促进这一领域的研究和教学。 美国著名的科学和工程学会沿着与一些有成就的学者和教育家一起参与了这一共同努力。 讲习班将结合联合收割机全体会议和小型互动讨论小组。 一个由俄罗斯和美国教育工作者和学者组成的联合委员会将制定议程，并选择在研讨会上使用的翻译文献。 将编制一个由这些文献和案例研究组成的教学单元供俄文使用，其中一些将作为讲习班的一部分制作。

This project will organize and conduct a series of three workshops in Russia on engineering ethics. For Russian educators and scholars, the project will assist in developing materials and strategies for incorporating ethics instruction into engineering education. For U.S. participants, it will be an opportunity to reassess methods and content in engineering ethics curricula. Russian engineers, accommodating to changes in the economy, democratization, and restructuring of institutions, confront new issues of professional ethics and social responsibility: concerns for public safety and problematic technologies, issues of intellectual property, and development of ethical and technical standards. Engineering ethics education is of assistance in confronting these issues, and a small but growing network of Russians are interested in collaborating with their U.S. counterparts to foster research and teaching in this field. Prominent U.S. scientific and engineering societies along with several accomplished scholars and educators are participating in this joint effort. The workshops will combine plenary sessions and small, interactive discussion groups. A joint committee of Russian and U.S. educators and scholars will develop the agendas and choose the literature for translation for use at the workshops. An instructional module composed of that literature and case studies, some of which will be produced as part of the workshops, will be prepared for Russian use.
