- Other materials on engineering ethics can be accessed through these three linksmentioned above.
This module expands upon a presentation given to capstone classes in engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Designed by Luis Jimenez to provide students with an introduction to ethical approaches in the context of engineering, it has expanded to cover practical skills in problem solving and the professional context of engineering in Puerto Rico. For those interested in ABET accreditation and reaccreditation, it touches on the themes of (1) professional and ethical responsibility, (2) integrating ethics into design projects, and (3) generating awareness of the social and global impacts of engineering. Students and faculty consulting this module will find the capstone course presentation, background information pertinent to engineering ethics in Puerto Rico, and exercises that help students develop an active and practical understanding of how ethics fits into engineering practice.
