Making Ethics Explicit: Relocating Ethics to the Core of Engineering Education

使伦理明确：重新定位伦理工程教育的核心这个伦理教育在科学和工程奖支持跨学科的努力，通过开发教学方法，使学生参与创新的方式来改变工程伦理教育。工程师和社会科学家将合作研究基于问题的学习，作为将前沿研究纳入道德课程的战略。该项目包括两个相互关联的研究和教育组成部分：1）开发创新的教学方法，与学生互动？情感和现有的价值体系; 2）探索如何以学生为导向，以问题为基础的学习可以把道德的核心课程。该研究团队包括加州伯克利大学的四名PI，以及来自洛杉矶加州大学和荷兰三所技术大学的3 TU伦理与技术中心的合作者。该项目为高级本科生和研究生创造了多样化的研究经验，包括机会：1）参与课程评价和开发，2）创建新的课程材料和资源，3）参加先进的，密集的道德暑期课程，4）将道德成分纳入他们的论文，5）为伦理学研究界做出贡献。更广泛的影响包括通过同行评审的出版物和会议演讲进行积极的传播计划，以及实质性的课程开发，如课程模块，高级本科课程，一个密集的夏季研究生课程，和一个简洁的教科书式的资源。所有课程材料将通过NSF资助的在线资源中心，国家专业和研究伦理门户网站（http：//www.example.com）以及工程和研究在线伦理中心（http：onlineethics.org）提供给其他机构。nationalethicsresourcecenter.net通过让学生参与研究和课程开发，我们的项目使新学者能够将道德纳入他们的研究计划和教学活动。

MAKING ETHICS EXPLICIT:RELOCATING ETHICS TO THE CORE OF ENGINEERING EDUCATIONThis Ethics Education in Science and Engineering award supports an interdisciplinary effort to transform engineering ethics education by developing pedagogical approaches that engage students in innovative ways. Engineers and social scientists will work collaboratively to study problem-based learning as a strategy to incorporate cutting edge research into ethics curricula. The project incorporates two interrelated research and education components: 1) developinnovative pedagogical approaches to engage with students? emotions and existing valuesystems; and 2) explore how student-directed, problem-based learning can place ethics at thecore of the curriculum. The research team includes the four PIs at University of California Berkeley and collaborators from the University of California, Los Angeles and from the 3TU Centre for Ethics and Technology at the three technical universities in the Netherlands. The project creates a diversity of research experiences for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, including opportunities to: 1) become involved in curriculum evaluation and development, 2) create new curriculum materials and resources, 3) participate in an advanced, intensive ethics summer program, 4) incorporate ethics components into their dissertations, and 5) contribute to the ethics research community.The broader impacts include an active program of dissemination via peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, as well as substantial curriculum development, such as course modules, an advanced undergraduate course, an intensive summer graduate program, and a concise textbook-style resource. All course materials will be made available to other institutions through the NSF-funded online resource center, The National Professional and Research Ethics Portal (http://nationalethicsresourcecenter.net) as well as the Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Research (http://onlineethics.org). By involving students in research and curriculum development, our project enables new scholars to incorporate ethics into their research programs and teaching activities.
