In Apollo 1,faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere led to loss of the capsule and crew. (Three years later,Apollo 13 was almost lost due to faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere.) Almost thirty yearslater, TWA Flight 800 was lost with all aboard due to faulty wiring in an explosive atmosphere.The Concorde, which had a long history of tire failures causing wing and fuel tank damage, waslost when it hit debris and a

In fact, the title of the course, “Engineering a Catastrophe”, explicitlydid not mention ethics to appeal to the widest audience. This seminar was described as exploringboth the engineering and cultural implications of recent and historical disasters with examplestaken from: natural (such as levee failures and earthquake damage), engineering (nuclear powergeneration and aerospace), and conflict (terrorism) tragedies. Students were prepared that theywould learn and discuss which factors led to these cataclysmic evens and how engineeringdevelopment, public policy, and society have responded.

For example, one student started in mechanical engineeringwhere “a lot of the classes were really just technical and we didn’t go over the ethics of whetheror not this was responsible.” The student described this lack of ethical consideration as his“qualm with the major.” Another student in Capstone Design had a similar experience and noted,“I was aerospace for two years and didn’t hear ethics once.” This perceived disconnectionbetween the material and its application was the primary motivation for switching majors sincehe “wanted to do something where I wasn’t nervous about my

: Criterion f: an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, Criterion g: an ability to communicate effectively, Criterion h: the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, and Criterion j: a knowledge of contemporary issuesThe uniqueness of this course stems from the fact that, it is taught by a large number of facultyrepresenting many disciplines such as philosophy, bioethics, physics, as well as aerospace,chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering. We believe that in this way students will beexposed to views of ethics from a variety of perspectives. Besides, many guest lecturers areinvited to give lectures on ethical issues that
