What the Professor post

We’ve covered a lot of material. We started with some big philosophical issues concerning human psychology, technology, and society. We considered the details of several ethical theories, and we’ve applied them to dozens of cases and examples from both the history and the future of engineering. And we’ve looked at all these issues with a eye towards our professional responsibilities as future engineers and our integrity as persons.

For your final assignment, I’d like you to write one last post of normal length reflecting on the material we’ve learned in class. You might go back to your introduction on the first week to see your expectations then. What have you learned about Engineering Ethics that you didn’t appreciate when this class started? What lessons or examples stood out to you? How will this course impact your professional life, if at all?

Imagine talking to someone skeptical that Engineering Ethics is worth the time and resources. Why bother teaching ethics when people will lie, cheat, and steal for their own benefit anyway? Corporations get away with their crimes with a slap on the wrist. The most violent and vicious seem to win far more often than chance. The skeptic would argue that students and businesses should waste far less time and effort thinking about ethics, because it ultimately doesn’t do them any good. How would you respond to the skeptic? Is Engineering Ethics worth the effort?

reflect on the film, and then discuss it. The focus of these reflections and discussions will be the themes of the films, not the plots. This means you are to reflect on what the film was about, not what happened in it. The themes will each reflect on one or more of the big questions of life.

when you reflect on these films, you should always be reflect on three questions that are applicable to all of the films.These questions are:

1) What is a key theme of this film?(Note:many films have multiple themes.)

2) What changes took place in the lives of the main characters, and what caused these changes?

3) To what extent does each of these films show a quest for something to believe in on the part of one or more main characters?In what do they end up believing?

Write a 1-2 page reflection paper on one of the themes. The papers will focus on how the theme impacts your own life, and it is not to be just vague musings on the theme in general. Apply it to your life!

For instance, you might use one of these sentences to begin your reflections:

–“One of the themes in this film that really struck me was X, because…”

–“I could identify with the theme of X because …”

–“I admire character X because …”

–“If I were character X, I would have acted differently in this way …

–“Character X showed the kind of negative traits that have impacted my life in these ways…”

You can chose one of these movies:

1) Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

2) Groundhog day

3) Casablanca
