Fulton Schools of Engineering Education Seminars (SEEdS) – Incorporating Ethics Activities into Technical Engineering Courses

Guest Speaker: Michael Loui, Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Date: April 18, 2025 | 12:00 – 1:00pm MST

Location: Zoom

Seminar Description: Many engineering faculty members want to integrate ethics instruction into the technical courses that they teach, but they worry about lack of time and lack of expertise. In this presentation, Loui will describe a few practical examples of how ethics activities can be added organically to technical courses, with minimal preparation by the instructor and little change to the curriculum.
