As academics know, it’s been “conference season” recently, with the usual rush of meetings and symposia and events that mark the beginning of summer. We’re pleased that the Engineering Ethics Toolkit has been featured at several of these, both home and abroad:
- At the SEFI Spring School, held at TU Berlin the 10th – 12th April, the SEFI Ethics and Sustainability Special Interest Groups convened to consider “Democracy in Engineering Education”, and the Ethics Toolkit was featured in a workshop on the knowledge, skills, and mindsets of engineering educators.
- An interview with Ethics Toolkit project manager Sarah Jayne Hitt was the subject of Episode 22 of the SEFI podcast.
- At the EPC Annual Congress, held at Cardiff University the 9th-11th June, the Facial Recognition case study was mentioned during conversations about AI Ethics, and the Constructive Alignment tool was showcased as a way to plan for weaving ethics into almost any learning outcome.
- At the UK and Ireland Engineering Education Research Network Annual Symposium, held at Ulster University in Belfast the 17th – 18th June, the Guidance Articles were presented as a great place to get started in learning more about teaching engineering ethics.
- At the American Society of Engineering Education conference, held in Portland, Oregon the 23rd-27th June, Sarah Jayne Hitt presented an impact study that she and Sarah Junaid conducted on use of the Ethics Toolkit, featuring both website data analytics as well as information from user interviews.
Between January and April 2024 the Ethics Toolkit had just shy of 10,000 views, so we know you’re looking at it, but we also want to know where you’re talking about the Ethics Toolkit!
