Introduction

Incident at Morales, an Engineering Ethics Story was developed and produced during 2002 - 2003 by the National Institute for Engineering Ethics (NIEE), Murdough Center for Engineering Professionalism at Texas Tech University under a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF SES-0138309) and major contributions from engineering societies, companies, universities, and individual donors.

Produced and directed by Emmy award-winning and Oscar-nominated Great Projects Film Company in New York City, Incident at Morales is a 36-minute dramatic case study cast in an international setting which emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of engineers and the resulting benefit to the public.

Background

Incident at Morales is the result of efforts of an 8-member team, serving as executive producers, plus several assistants and advisors, and a producer and writer. The executive producers consisted of engineers, engineering faculty, philosophy faculty, and practicing professionals from industry.
