Theory And Practice Of Humanitarian Ethics In Graduate Engineering Education

The engineering education ethics focus on individual and social responsibilities has overlooked an important dimension of engineering practice that deserves clearer ethical articulation and curriculum development: the role of engineers in humanitarian activities. Additionally, reform initiatives in science and engineering (SE 2) researched barriers and opportunities in the development and implementation of humanitarian-related curricula in a number of engineering schools; and 3) undertaken the development and implementation of HE initiatives in graduate engineering education. The paper outlines the literature review and philosophical analysis conducted in different areas related to humanitarianism, how these activities were incorporated in a faculty development workshop, and how they are being used in curriculum development and implementation of a Humanitarian Engineering Ethics Introductory Seminar and electrical and environmental engineering courses.
