ME 160. Ethics in Engineering and Science. 3 Credits.

This course presents a philosophical examination of the nature of engineering and scientific practices, as well as applied technology. We will consider such questions as: How do the societal functions of engineers/scientists and the practical application of technologies relate to basic moral and intellectual values? What moral obligations are implied by the uses and creation of technology? What are the ethical duties of engineers and scientists in the practice of their careers?
