C Ability to make ethical decisions and practice ethically as an engineer who contributes to society. |
The purpose of this course is to learn the necessary ethical standards and principles of behavior as scientists and engineers,
and to cultivate ethical values that will not lead to violations of laws and improper involvement.
The goal of this course is to foster the sense of right values and ethics which are required to the future engineers and scientists.
For the development of science and engineering, it is required that all the scientists and engineers know the laws and regulations
related to their research and also perform their work faithfully. Consequently, people can live a comfortable life and the
sustainable society will be preserved into the future. In this course, students can learn the criteria for judgement and guiding
principles based on research ethics, and can adopt the criteria not to be involved in misconduct, or not to be against the
law. In the class, several educational tools such as e-learning, role playing using a simulator, will be used.
- The students will be able to explain the social roles and responsibilities of scientists and engineers.
- The students will be able to explain the laws and rules of research activities of scientists and engineers.
- The students will be able to explain the ethical standards and principles of correct research activities that contribute to
improving the quality of scientific research.
