There is an increasing attention to ethics in engineering practice. Engineers are supposed not only to carry out their work competently and skilfully, but also to be aware of the broader ethical and social implications of engineering and to be able to reflect on these. According to the Engineering Criteria 2000 of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the US, engineers must have “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility” and should "understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.”

This course changed my perception on ethics relevant to my profession. The course is useful for not only engineers but for scientists and other professionals.
I have got a very wonderful experience and knowledge by learning this course
Thank you so much
The course was very helpful and gives a very good insight to how important ethics should be applied in the engineering profession.
It would have been better if there were more video lectures. Apart from that the course is all good.
