This course is designed to provide graduate students working at the interface of engineering and society with a solid background in research ethics. It will be made up of four 2-hour sessions, using case studies to study topics related to research misconduct, science and society, and intellectual property. Each session will be structured as follows: (1) introduction/background for the topics to be discussed; (2) discussion groups and analysis of relevant case studies illustrating ethical dilemmas encountered by laboratory researchers; and (3) concluding summary and wrap-up.
