Abstract :
The National Institute for Engineering Ethics has produced a new video that dramatizes a fictional but realistic case in which an engineer addresses numerous ethical issues in designing a new chemical plant in Mexico. In a special session at the conference, participants will learn to use a new video to teach professional and ethical issues in engineering effectively, with two basic cooperative learning techniques: generating questions in pairs and structured discussions in small groups.
