This panel discussion, introducing the EPC’s new Engineering Ethics Toolkit, was live on 5th May 2022.
With the creation of an Ethics Toolkit, the EPC has responded to growing advocacy for embedding ethics throughout engineering programmes – alongside technical skills – to equip future engineers with the skills and mindset needed for success. Ethics education is crucial since engineering has a significant impact on society and the environment, in both positive and negative ways. Harnessing the power of engineering requires engineers to navigate complexity, uncertainty and challenging ethical issues.
In this webinar, a panel of those involved in our innovative Royal Academy of Engineering-supported ethics project discuss the engineering ethics scholarship and pedagogy behind our Engineering Ethics Toolkit, and report back on its first uses in educational settings.
The insightful panel includes: Prof Raffaella Ocone (Heriot-Watt University), Dr Sarah Jayne Hitt (NMITE), Prof Matt Studley (UWE, Bristol) and Prof Mike Bramhall (TEDI-London).
The panel discuss the aims of the Phase 1 resources, how the Advisory Group put them together, how they can be used by engineering educators, and why it is important to integrate ethics into your engineering teaching.
This webinar will be of interest to engineering educators who are curious about ways to integrate ethics into their teaching, and anyone who is passionate about the social, cultural, political, and environmental impacts of engineering practice.
