PROJECT TITLE :

Integration of ethical training into undergraduate senior design projects on wireless communications

ABSTRACT:

Wireless communications engineers may face advanced moral dilemmas whereas planning products for consumers. At Florida International University's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, we place great importance on coaching our students to address such moral dilemmas, in alignment with ABET needs. To this end, an ethical training framework is integrated into our two-semester senior design project course. Plus the codes of ethics, our students use "The Theory Model" to make decisions based on ethical theories. For the solution of ethical dilemmas by means of ethical theories, they apply a modified version of the line drawing method. In this article we have a tendency to briefly make a case for the theories and methods that our students take into account when facing moral dilemmas. Then we tend to gift excerpts from four past senior design projects connected to wireless communications. We conjointly summarize the methodology the students use for identifying the simplest choice to address moral dilemmas.
