Course Introduction

This course introduces the theory and the practice of engineering ethics using a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach. Theory includes ethics and philosophy of engineering. Historical cases are taken primarily from the scholarly literatures on engineering ethics, and hypothetical cases are written by students. Each student will write a story by selecting an ancestor or mythic hero as a substitute for a character in a historical case. Students will compare these cases and recommend action.

Lecture 16: Competency with Good Character

This topic is very vital in engineering profession as technology managers often have to make decisions involving technical product performance risk management in order to support business bottom lines. I was hoping to get some insight and learn a lot here, but the audio is very poor especially when the students are speaking (which is a lot of the time). The instructor left a lot of the discussion to the students and when he did do some talking, mostly rambled around and did not make any clear points or share any important insights. Very disappointing indeed.

Disappointing indeed

I was really looking forward to this but could only suffer through 3 episodes.  The quality of the audio is terrible when students are talking and the instructors stumble around.  Shame, as it&#39;s an iumportant topic.

Disappointing
