This course is designed to help SEAS graduate students cultivate ethical awareness, reflection, and practical tools regarding their research practices for future work at or beyond the University. It encourages graduate engineering students: to consider the social and ethical impact of their research; and to develop disciplines of 'ethical reflection and analysis' in their professional conduct and throughout the engineering process. Though specific Codes of Ethics within varying engineering societies are useful, they are not sufficient in preparing engineers for the social and ethical challenges that arise in today's complex systems.
