SMT 123 - Ethics, Technology & Society

Course Units: 1.0

(TBD: Staff) In today’s technologically advanced society, professionals are faced with situations that require more than technical knowledge, common sense, and good judgment. Many of the issues borne by the complexity of modern day life are not only interwoven but are multidimensional. One of these dimensions is ethics. To illustrate how ethics, technology, and society intersect, this course offers case-based situations where students will learn from well-documented cases how to engage ethics principles in the decision making process, and how to put into practice the experience gained in the classroom from discussing various scenarios and from making one’s own arguments.
