Ethics for Life Sciences engineers

The decisions that life science engineers make can have profound impacts on other people, on society, and on the environment. It is important, therefore, to be aware of the potential effects of decisions, and to have a set of ethical principles and analytical tools to make good ethical decisions.

Science and Engineering Teaching and Learning - FALL

This course develops teaching skills through the introduction of research-informed approaches and the opportunity to practice strategies appropriate for higher education science and technology contexts (exercises, labs, projects and traditional courses).

Science and Engineering Teaching and Learning - SPRING

This course develops teaching skills through the introduction of research-informed approaches and the opportunity to practice strategies appropriate for higher education science and technology contexts (exercises, labs, projects and traditional courses).

Becoming an ethical engineer

Students will develop an understanding of the psychological and social processes of learning the following competences: (i) ethical sensitivity, (ii) ethical reasoning, (iii) ethical motivation, and (iv) ethical agency. Students will, at the same time, develop these capabilities.

How people learn: Designing Learning Tools I

The students will understand the cognitive and social factors which affect learning - particularly in science and engineering. They will be able to use social research techniques as part of the design process to understand end users.

How people learn: Designing Learning Tools II

The students will understand the cognitive and social factors which affect learning - particularly in science and engineering. They will be able to use social research techniques as part of the design process to understand end users.
