ETHICAL-TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

Technology-based companies are powered by teams of engineers who create products and services that create value and competitive advantages for organizations that can turn into profits. However, the matrices of technical and user related decision paths that engineering leaders make to guide the team are not always constrained by ethics in a formal way. This course will help students understand the impact of ethics on engineering and technology in order to apply ethics concepts to decision making on issues that emerge in the workplace during one’s career. In order to enroll in an online section of this course, you are expected to have a working camera and microphone.
