Ethics for Engineers: Doing the Right
Thing When No One is Looking
Online Assessment Based Course ZABC3
Ethics has been defined as doing the right thing when no one is
watching. Are you? Is everyone around you? What should you do if
they’re not? Is what you think is right the same thing as what others think
is right? In this learning for engineers we’ll explore all these questions
and you’ll finish with how-to’s for yourself and others.
This is an intermediate level course for all engineers as we all have to
display ethical behavior and help others display it as well.
