The Science, Technology & Society Initiative is developing conceptual frameworks and case studies, as well as online, interactive case studies, to advance knowledge of the international dimensions of ethics in science and engineering.

These freely available materials may be used interchangeably and can be inserted into a single course or combined to cover multiple weeks or a full semester.

Additionally, some of our in-class cases have been transformed into online, interactive cases. With our online cases, the original in-depth case studies have been simplified for faster online reading and are supplemented with streaming audio interviews with key stakeholders and experts for each case.
