Objective and Contents of the Course

Course Objectives: Students will have an opportunity to become familiar with the ethics concepts
regarding its birth and evolution. Also, students will increase their understanding in
engineering ethics and become familiar with the contemporary debates and challenges
by the analysis of the cases.
Course Content: The course is about the ethical theory and its relationship with engineering field in the
general sense. The understanding of ethics, its theoretical and practical discussions in
the academic circles especially engineering will be the focal points of the lecture.
