This isbecause case studies have a way to bring abstract concepts (philosophical ethics) into thepractical realm: actual or made-up cases that involve engineers. But there are good ways to usecase studies and then there are bad ways to use them. In this presentation, I hope to make somemodest recommendations regarding what goes into using case
