Caution: This module is incomplete. Authors plan to add more content shortly. This student module summarizes a presentation developed by Efrain O'Neill and Luis Jimenez for developing student awareness and competencies in engineering ethics. It defines ethics, provides a brief introduction to three ethical theories, sets forth useful frameworks and templates for ethical problem solving in engineering, and outlines the professional and code-based ethical responsibilities of engineers in Puerto Rico. A corresponding instructor module provides engineering professors with guidelines for integrating these matters into their courses. This instructor module employs a "train the trainers" strategy that is amenable both to an EAC (ethics across the curriculum) and ABET strategy. This module is being developed as a part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF-SES-0551779.
Several links have been provided to give access to up to date information on different aspects of engineering ethics. These links are described below. - Online Ethics is an excellent resource for cases and essays in engineering ethics. It also provides links to other sites such as the Center for Engineering Ethics and Society,a branch of the National Academy of Engineering. - Computing Cases highlights three large case studies in computer and engineering ethics:Therac-25, Hughes Aircraft, and Machado. Clicking on the link provided above provides access to the IEEE material on organizational and professional dissent.- The National Institute of Engineering Ethics website can be access through the final link. It provides study materials on the videos Incident at Morales and Gilbane Gold.It also contains the ethics cases developed by the National Society for Professional Engineer's Board of Ethical Review. Here, the BER publishes its decisions on casesbrought to it by members as a means of interpreting and clarifying the NSPE code of ethics. - Other materials on engineering ethics can be accessed through these three linksmentioned above.

Introduction

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.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
