Overcoming Challenges to Infusing Ethics into the Development of Engineers: Proceedings of a Workshop

The National Academy of Engineering’s Center for Engineering Ethics and Society (CEES) released summarizes of presentations and discussions from a January 11–12, 2017, workshop designed to help the engineering community identify institutional and cultural challenges to instilling ethics in engineering programs; and to develop approaches, programs, strategies, and collaborations to overcome those challenges. The workshop was a follow-on activity to the 2016 CEES report Infusing Ethics into the Development of Engineers: Exemplary Education Activities and Programs.

TRB is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, which provides independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conducts other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.
