This proposal will support the initiation of a concept for courses at the interface of engineering and science and ethics. Educating students and faculty to regard attentively ethical determinations entails organizing hands-on coursework that demonstrate how the choices involved in the many activities associated with the research and professional practices of scientists and engineers should be framed in ethical parameters. These parameters are further determined by cultural and socio-political conditions that differentiate both needs and expectations. The plan will engage philosophy faculty, along with engineering and industry and policy professional. The focus for the first course will be issues related to computer technology development and use. Faculty will be engaged from around the El Paso region, enable participation by a number of Universities. In the interdisciplinary, international, and multi-cultural formal planned, an essential task will be to come to terms with the ethical nature of how each of the several other participants plays roles in defining identity and tasks. Additional relevant issues will be identified with an Advisory team. A summer seminar will begin the cross-disciplinary exploration.

该建议将支持在工程和科学与道德界面上的课程概念的启动。 教育学生和教职员工，以专心的道德决定需要组织动手课程，以证明与科学家和工程师的研究和专业实践相关的许多活动中涉及的选择应以道德参数为基础。 这些参数是通过分化需求和期望的文化和社会政治条件进一步决定的。 该计划将与哲学教师以及工程，工业和政策专业人员一起吸引。 第一门课程的重点将是与计算机技术开发和使用有关的问题。 教师将从埃尔帕索地区附近订婚，使许多大学的参与。 在跨学科，国际和多元文化正式计划中，必不可少的任务是要与其他几个参与者中的每个参与者中的每个参与者中的每个参与者”的伦理性质达成协议。咨询团队将确定其他相关问题。 夏季研讨会将开始跨学科探索。
