Engineering Ethics

-EB main activities in the first year of the project have been recruiting members andreviewing current site materials. The LES-EB reviewed a number of existing OEC casematerials; key measures concerning content—including the content “area(s)” portrayed in eachcase and whether the case raised “ethics and society” (macroethical) issues—reinforced the needto develop additional materials. Regarding content areas, the review showed that the existingcollection only has substantial sets of resources for “genetics and genomics” and “biomedicalsciences.” Only these fields had more than 15 resources when reviewers assigned cases tosubfields within the life and environmental sciences using a modified version of the taxonomy oflife science graduate

It is reasonable to assume that the remaining time (1.23 seconds) was due to that brief observation. There were 19 other team launches using A8-3 engine. Not all results were as close as the ones reported from this student team report.AVION FLIGHT 25 :Rocket: Avion Engine: B6-4 The model weight: 28.46 g (heavier than most due to optionalspray paint used).

The intent of these changes most often affected end-of-life issues (e.g., reducing the carbon footprint or producing less waste).
