This Ethics Education In Science and Engineering award to The Colorado School of Mines supports a team of five faculty led by Dr. Juan Lucena, Department of Liberal Arts and International Studies to conduct research on the application of humanitarian ethics(HE) to engineering, and to create a model of HE for engineering in graduate education.Engineering ethics education and research, with focus mainly on individual and social responsibilities,can be substantially enhanced by the analysis of an important dimension of engineering practice: the roleof engineers in humanitarian activities. Further, reform initiatives in science and engineering (S&E)graduate education have not yet realized their potential for integrating ethics into graduate curricula.Contributing to these conceptual, methodological, and curricular challenges, the proposed project has thefollowing objectives: 1) to review and critically assess relations between humanitarianism andengineering in order to develop an applicable concept of HE in engineeringeducation and practice; 2) to discover and overcome barriers to the integration of HE in graduateengineering education as currently taught and learned; 3) to create and implement a model of HE ingraduate engineering education; and 4) to assess and improve the model of HE in order to make it anexample for broad dissemination. The benefits to society from the proposed project include opening alternative career paths tograduate engineering students in the areas humanitarian intervention and community development andproviding an ethical framework for humanitarian practice to an increasing number of engineers involvedin humanitarian activities.The proposal for this award was received in response to the Ethics Education in Science and Engineering announcement, NSF 05-532, and was funded by the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) in the Directorate for Engineering, Division of Computer and Network Systems in the Computer & Information Science & Engineering Directorate, and by the Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences Directorate.

科罗拉多矿业学院的科学与工程伦理教育奖支持由文科和国际研究系胡安·卢塞纳博士领导的由五名教师组成的团队进行人道主义伦理学 (HE) 在工程中的应用研究，并工程伦理教育和研究主要关注个人和社会责任，通过分析工程实践的一个重要维度：工程师在人道主义活动中的作用，可以大大加强工程伦理教育和研究。此外，科学与工程 (S&E) 研究生教育的改革举措尚未实现将伦理学纳入研究生课程的潜力。针对这些概念、方法论和课程挑战，拟议项目具有以下目标：1) 审查和批判性地评估人道主义与工程之间的关系，以便在工程教育和实践中发展适用的高等教育概念； 2）发现并克服当前教授和学习的高等教育融入研究生工程教育的障碍； 3）创建并实施高等教育本科工程教育模式； 4）评估和改进高等教育模型，使其成为广泛传播的典范。拟议项目给社会带来的好处包括为人道主义干预和社区发展领域的工程专业学生开辟替代职业道路，并为越来越多参与人道主义活动的工程师提供人道主义实践的道德框架。该奖项的提案得到了回应符合科学与工程伦理教育公告 NSF 05-532，并由工程理事会工程教育和中心 (EEC) 部、计算机与信息科学与工程理事会计算机和网络系统部资助,以及社会、行为和经济科学理事会。
