ASEE Panel on NSF and Engineering Ethics Education - 2010
(Web Page on this Site)
On June 23, 2010, Rachelle Hollander, Director of the Center for Engineering, Ethics, and Society at the National Academy of Engineering moderated a panel on “NSF and Engineering Ethics Education,” at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education in Louisville, Kentucky. At the start of calendar year 2010, NSF required certifications from institutions submitting proposals of their plans to provide and verify ethics education training to students and post-doctoral fellows. The session explored ways and resources with which to address these requirements, from the perspectives of engineering administrators and faculty members, programs attempting to develop these resources, and the NSF itself. Power-point slides of the three presentations can be found here.
