- Interactive Web Site Module Design & Development for Museum of Science and Industry (Semester Unknown) IPRO 333
- This project is sponsored by the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago, Illinois). The Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) contacted Illinois Institute of Technology’s Interprofessional Projects program about enlisting a student team to develop content for its website (http://www.msichicago.org) over the course of two semesters (Fall 2007 and Spring 2008). The team has been tasked with further developing three interactive modules for the website. These modules are intended to raise scientific inquiry and support pre-existing scientific knowledge. There are three major areas of concentration for each group. Programmers, designers and content managers will aid in the development of each module. Programmers will need a proficient understanding of Flash, and the ability to utilize a mysquel and database and code in .NETcoding. Designers will be responsible for creating educationally accurate and visually appealing images. Content mangers will be required to relay clear and concise content that reflects age-appropriate and scientifically accurate curricula. MSI is currently developing a more modern and interactive website. The IPRO team will aid the museum by adding Flash modules to further interactivity. MSI provided the team with examples of successful preexisting scientific websites. These include: the Exploratorium (http://www.exploratorium.edu) and the Franklin Institute (http://www.fi.edu). These websites, and others, have been evaluated by the IPRO team and judged by their success in qualitative learning. The museum's goal is to incorporate emerging technologies, ultimately transforming the “brochure like” website into a more engaging attraction for potential museum visitors. Finalized developed modules will be incorporated into MSI's website re-launch in 2008., Deliverables

- Five Kinds of Ethics Across the Curriculum : An Introduction to Four Experiments with One Kind
- Since 1991, the National Science Foundation has made three large grants to the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions at the Illinois Institute of Technology to offer workshops to help faculty integrate ethics into technical courses across the curriculum. We called what we were doing "ethics across the curriculum". This paper seeks to to explain what ethics across the curriculum represents, and what it does not represent. Namely, it is not morality across the curriculum, moral theory across the curriculum, social ethics across the curriculum, or professional ethics across the curriculum., Teaching Ethics, Vol. 4, Issue 2, pp.1-14

- Getting an Ethics Charge Out of Current Events : Some Doubts About Katrina
- The author discusses why he believes that Hurricane Katrina, which is certainly the biggest engineering disaster in the history of the United States, is not a good case for teaching engineering ethics. This is for three major reasons. First, there is the question of what happened. Second, there is the question of what part engineers had in what happened, which decisions were theirs and which belonged to elected or appointed officials who were not engineers. Third, there is the question of what part engineering ethics had, or should have had, in the decisions engineered did make. We lack any dramatic moment such as the Challenger Disaster provided, a moment when ethics mattered in a way that is both precise and interesting., resentation at the American Society of Engineering Education Annual Conference.

- What Engineering Societies Can Do About Ethics
- This talk looks at how engineering societies can promote ethical practice and discussion about ethics among their members. After some remarks about how engineers commonly handle ethical issues that come up within organizations, especially in instances when raising ethical issues with managers such as the Challenger Shuttle Explosion, the author goes on to discuss how engineering societies can promote continuing education in ethics, hold roundtable discussions between engineers and managers, and promote open communication in workplaces., Address given at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. Chicago Area Combined Section Meeting, 27 September 1988.

- Professionalism Among Chinese Engineers: An Empirical Study
- This is a copy of a dataset - in English and Chinese - completed in 2018 looking at concepts of professionalism. Following on the Davis, Zhang survey of 2016, this study continues to evaluate the claim that China has a profession of engineering (as defined by Davis) with a larger, better educated, demographically different pool of two hundred and twenty-nine Chinese engineers, using more specific and deeper questions about “profession”, for example, by adding the investigation of competence (the discipline of engineering)—the perceived knowledge, skill, and judgment of the interviewees as evidence of one aspect of profession. The dataset includes a copy of the questionnaire in Chinese and English, as well as both the entire dataset of surveyed individuals as well as the data from individuals who were deemed to have enough experience in engineering to be included in the final data set analyzed.

- Why Teaching Workplace Ethics Is Not As Hard As You Thought
- This presentation for the Illinois Vocational Education Coordinators Association is in three parts. The first seeks to make it easier for you to teach workplace ethics by freeing you from what the author calls "the four fears", namely the fear of not being value neutral, the fear of subjectivism, the fear of relativism, and the fear of impotence. After addressing these fears, Part II presents a classroom situation win which you could discuss workplace ethics, and some suggestions on teaching methods., Sponsorship: Illinois Cooperative Vocational Education Coordinators Association, Mini-Seminar for the Illinois Cooperative Vocational Education Coordinators Association. Naperville Central High School, Naperville, Illinois. 19 May 1988, 1-5 pm.

- Technology, Values, and Ethics : A Framework
- Three words of my title--"technology", "values", and "ethics"--have this in common: they have all been used in enough different ways to be dangerous. To provide the framework my title promises, I shall have to distinguish the most important of those uses, set them in context, and explain how they are (or are not) related. This conceptual housecleaning, rather boring in itself, will give me the opportunity to talk about engineering, both its history and practice. That will not be boring., GTE Lecture University of Wisconsin Center/Fond du Lac October 13, 199

- The Moral Legislature
- This paper is an experiment in what John Rawls recently called "Kantian constructiivism". It seeks to establish a "suitable connection between a particular conception of the person and first principles of [morality] by means of a procedure of construction. Yet, it differs from Rawls' similar efforts in a number of ways. The emphasis is morality generally, not justice in particular. The construction attempts to be more "realistic" especially in substituting external procedures for Rawls' "veil of ignorance". These differences are, I hope, at least suggested by substituting "the moral legislature" for Rawls' "original position". Section I of this paper explains further what motivates the sort of construction proposed, sections II-V describe the moral legislature itself, explaining as well why it makes sense to construct it as I do and how it differs from some obvious alternatives. Section VI concludes with an example of how the moral legislature might be used, the sketch of an argument for the claim that positive law cannot in in generally be morally obliging.

- Conflict of Interest : What's to Worry?
- Michael Green's "Culture, Self, and Ethical Paradigms" is a daring paper. Though we must finally reject its argument and suspend judgement on its conclusions, it has much to teach us about the possible relationships between business ethics and surrounding culture., Presentation given at Holland Laboratory, Rockville, Maryland, May 10, 1994.

- Ethical Considerations for Personnel Administrators and Human Resources Managers
- Human resource professionals and personnel administrators in their professional role will inevitably make decisions that affect the welfare of the organizations and the people they work for and with. Determining the "proper course of action" often raises ethical concerns. This paper discusses how ethical analysis and decision making can help human resource managers make decisions that benefit both the company and the company's employees., Invited paper presented at the National Conference of the American Society for Personnel Administration, Chicago June 1984.
