Undergraduate Symposium on Ethics in Engineering Practice

In Spring 2024, students in ENGRG 3600 shared their research projects at a poster symposium that is open to the public. We discussed ethical issues across many different disciplines of engineering, from artificial intelligence to weapons systems to genetic modification. This event received financial support from the Sidney & Anne Braudy and Louis & Edith Manker Fund. Students and invited guests continued the conversation over dinner at the Terrace Restaurant.
