Engineering Ethics: Case Study in Biomedical Research
This course is designed to introduce engineers in the biomedical field to ethical considerations (e.g., use of human subjects in research) related to practice in this field. The author reviews the Biomedical Engineering Society Code of Ethics and discusses a case study involving fabricated data and other ethical transgressions. He focuses on the ethical principles that were violated and offers suggestions on how biomedical engineers can avoid making similar errors.
Education Module
Engineering Ethics: Biomedical Engineering
In this course the author discusses two codes of ethics that biomedical engineers can use as a reference when they confront ethical questions in professional situations. The author also provides a guided review of ethical decision-making using a case study in biomedical engineering. Several suggestions and additional references for improving ethical decision-making are offered.
