This web page presents engineering ethics case studies developed by the IDEA CETL in partnership with the Engineering Subject Centre and the engCETL.
The case studies cover a variety of topics including safety, intellectual property, sustainability and integrity, within a range of engineering disciplines. They are intended to be used with students in a one or two hour session with small group discussions. Each case study sets out a scenario, presents questions for discussion, provides notes for tutors, handouts for students and suggestions for further reading. Case studies include:
• ABC defence
• Advisory board
• An ancient dilemma
• CV joints
• French engineers
• Noise at work
• Safety measures
• Smith & Brown
• Sustainability versus heritage
• Transmission towers
