A&M University In August of 1995 thirty-five faculty from around the nation, supported by the National Science Foundation, joined eight undergraduate fellows, supported by the Harry E. Bovay, Jr. Ethics Endowment, for a one-week workshop on the campus of Texas A&M University to achieve an innovative goal. That goal was to develop engineering ethics resource material that could be easily introduced at all levels of the engineering curriculum and in all engineering disciplines. To accomplish this task, it was decided that the development of a new set of engineering ethics cases which would include numerical problems would be the best course of action. The numerical and ethical problems based on these new cases could then find a niche in many required undergraduate engineering courses as home-work problems, quiz problems or lecture demonstration problems. The thirty-six faculty participants (including a visitor from Mexico) are listed alphabetically on a participant page, along with their affiliations and e-mail addresses. All of the participants from this workshop are dedicated to helping you use these cases as effectively as possible. You should feel free to contact the case authors. They are prepared to respond to any e-mail queries.
The eight Bovay Undergraduate Fellows who worked alongside the faculty participants are also listed on the participant page. These Bovay Fellows were students who had earned an A in the Engineering Ethics course at Texas A&M University, and who had a high engineering grade point average. The students not only provided reactions to the case problems, but also contributed some excellent cases themselves.
Cases are available for the following disciplines:
