Course description and aims
This course discusses and investigates the ethics for engineers; e.g. an aspect of social ethics for technology and industrial products, the social role and basics of the behavior of engineers, the relationship with organizations and laws, a corporate ethic and a code of ethics, injustice of researchers, copyright, and intellectual properties.
The aim of this course is for electrical and electronic engineers to be able to learn the basics for properly making an ethical judgment on their own.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to acquire the following abilities to:
1) Explain the aspects of social ethic for technology and industrial products.
2) Explain the social role and basics of the behavior of engineers and the relationship with organizations and laws.
3) Explain the corporate ethics and code of ethics.
4) Explain the ethics of researchers, the compliance of copyright and the intellectual properties.
5) Have an interest in the ethics for engineers, researchers, and corporations, and learn to properly make an ethical judgment on their own.
