Integrating Ethics into Technical Education II June 1-2, 2000
Conference Goals Advances in technology have dramatically changed the role of technical and scientific workers. In a technologically advanced workplace, technicians work in teams to make decisions which, in more traditional organizations, have been made by senior management. Among the most significant decisions are those having ethical implications. Therefore, technical workers must be aware of the ethical issues associated with their specific technologies and with technical decision-making generally. As a result, it is important for technical educators to raise and address ethical issues as part of the educational process. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum in which educators and businesspeople may consider methods for integrating ethics into technical education.
The Conference will be held Thursday and Friday, June 1-2, 2000, at Raritan Valley Community College, located in central New Jersey, approximately one hour from New York City or Philadelphia. Forums for discussion will focus on the following topics:
Keynote Speakers
Professor Michael Davis, Center for Study of Ethics in the Professions, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL. Professor Victoria S. Wike, Philosophy Department, Loyola University, Chicago, IL.
