Background

I am interested in how we integrate ethics into our curriculum for engineers and scientists, ensuring that we are preparing our students for the myriad of problems that they may face in the future, many of which do not have a clear-cut answer. The goals are to increase the awareness of ethical issues as well as ethical reasoning ability for complex situations. I am particularly interested in assessing the effectiveness of our pedagogical approaches.
