Interdisciplinary Research and Training Program in Ethics for Business Science and Engineering in the Puerto Rican Context

该项目支持一项静修和静修后活动，旨在(1)将伦理学整合到波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校的商业、科学和工程课程中；(2)将商业、科学和工程内容整合到那里的伦理和价值观研究课程中；(3)将这种教学牢固地置于波多黎各的文化、经济和政治背景中。——努力的核心是定于1998年12月13日至18日举行的一次撤退。这个静修有研讨会，旨在帮助大学教师选择和准备案例研究，这些案例研究可以有效地用于科学、工程、商业和人文课程。它还设有课程，旨在让商业、科学和工程教师熟悉波多黎各商业、科学和工程实践中涉及的伦理方法和问题。为了为成功的撤退奠定基础，已经开展了一系列撤退前的活动，包括规划和范围界定研讨会，选择撤退中讨论的案例，并制定撤退结构和预期结果。其他筹备活动包括一个调查科学和工程伦理问题的论坛，以及专门为工程学生在1998年春季学期开设的商业伦理实验课。在静修期间开发的案例和其他材料将被引入大学课堂，并将实施几项静修后评估措施。研究结果也将在拉丁美洲和美国得到更广泛的传播

This project supports a retreat and-post-retreat activities designed to (1) integrate ethics into the business, science and engineering curriculum at the University of Puerto Rico at-Mayaguez (2) integrate business, science, and engineering content into ethics and values studies courses there, and (3) place this teaching firmly in the Puerto Rican cultural, economic, and political context.--The heart of the effort is a retreat scheduled to take place December 13-18, 1998. This-retreat has workshop sessions designed to help university faculty select and prepare case-studies that can be used effectively in science, engineering, business, and humanities courses. It also has sessions designed to acquaint business, science, and engineering faculty with the ethical approaches and issues-that are involved in the practice of business, science, and engineering in Puerto Rico. To provide a foundation for a successful retreat, a-series of pre-retreat activities has been conducted, including a planning and scoping workshop that selected cases to be discussed in the retreat, and developed the retreat structure and expected outcomes. Other preparatory activities included a forum that investigated ethical problems in science and engineering and an experimental class of business ethics designed specifically-for engineering students offered in the-spring semester of 1998. The cases and other materials developed at the retreat will be introduced into university classes, and several post-retreat evaluation measures will be carried out. Results will also be more broadly disseminated in Latin America and the U.S.
