There are various ethical matters that engineers and researchers should consider carefully, such as “why engineers are accountable for products,” "can ideas and technologies be released to the public immediately,” "is GM food safe.” In this course, we will discuss the ethical issues engineers face while referring to specific cases.
This course is mainly a lecture style, but rather than one-way communication from the teachers, I will provide time for discussion and give the opportunity of presentation by applicants.
This course is designated to achieve to DP1, 2, 3, 4.

･The second to the 11th: The teaching materials for each lecture will be uploaded on LMS in advance. Think about the questions in the lecture at that time (e.g., why engineers are accountable for products) (10 to 30 minutes), and prepare the lecture using the LMS teaching materials (30 minutes). In addition, summarize the lecture content for the exam (60 minutes).
･The 12th, 13th: Look for literature which interests you, and summarize the contents (60 minutes). If you want to make a presentation, please prepare for it (120 minutes).
･The 14th: If you are a candidate for summary, summarize the contents of the lecture you are in charge of and prepare a short discussion (60 minutes).
It is recommended to attend the course of “Ethics” held in the second semester, but this is not a requirement.
