"Engineering Ethics Conference"
On June 12 and 13, 1990, Vivian Weil directed a conference on Engineering Ethics in Engineering Education, which was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. An invited group of specialists at the forefront of research and teaching in engineering ethics and of leaders in engineering education met in Chicago. Their purpose was to determine what are the core ideas in engineering ethics to which students should be exposed, what are effective methods for conveying those ideas, and what preparation and mastery are needed to teach. The product of the conference will be a report summarizing the points on which participants agreed and including reference to resources for teaching, such as the bibliography soon to be available from the National Institute for Engineering Ethics of the National Society of Professional Engineers. This report will be sent to all deans of engineering schools and directors of engineering programs and will be circulated to a wider audience in engineering education, the professional societies, and in applied and professional ethics education.
