Objectives of the Course To introduce students to a big picture view of the engineering profession
To develop skills in communication, teamwork, ethics, and entrepreneurship
To introduce basic principles of ethics, and ethical problems in engineering, and ethical consequences of different engineering solutions
Course Content IE 100 is designed to promote the development of professional passion among
students and provide early-on/hands-on experience through lectures, field trips, case studies, and projects. Students will have a big-picture view of the engineering profession and its practical requirements. Students will learn about the various aspects of the engineering profession and acquire both technical skills and non-technical skills, in areas such as communication, teamwork, and engineering ethics. The course also supports students entering the complex social system of the university in their efforts to succeed in engineering through personal and professional development, including understanding themselves as integrated physiological, social, and psychological entities who are able to formulate strategies and employ available university resources to support their academic and personal development.
This course also provides a compressive knowledge about the philosophy of ethics, different types of ethics (normative theories of ethics, anthropocentrism, relativism, monism, post modernism, etc.) and code of ethics. We analyze exterior acts and interior intentions and truth and fairness in person-to-person and person-to-society relationships. We also discuss moral responsibility of engineers and ethical problems in engineering with some case studies.
Course Methods and Techniques Aktif öğrenmenin gerçekleşmesi için çeşitli araçlar kullanacağız. Ek materyal için Canvas sitesi kullanılacaktır. Bu aynı zamanda öğrenci odaklı bir derstir. Sınıf tartışmalarına aktif olarak katılmak sizin sorumluluğunuzdur. Eğitmenle veya birbirinizle aynı fikirde olup olmamanıza göre notlandırılmazsınız. Ders katılımının değerlendirilmesi, önemli konuları gündeme getirme ve yanıtlama, fikir veya anlayışla katkıda bulunma, başkalarının fikirlerinden faydalanma, sunum yapan kişilere soru sorma vb. yeteneğinize dayalı olacaktır. Sınıf tartışmalarına aktif olarak katılarak içgörülerinizi keskinleştirebilirsiniz. ve sınıf arkadaşlarınızınkiler. Katılımınızın hem niteliği hem de sıklığı, aktif katılım notunuz açısından dikkate alınacaktır. Yüksek kaliteli veya ilgili katkıların size sık fakat önemsiz katkılardan daha yüksek bir katılım notu kazandıracağını lütfen unutmayın. Ayrıca sadece sınıfta bulunduğunuz için herhangi bir ders katılım puanı almayacaksınız. Derse katılım, derse katılımdan yüksek puan almak için gerekli ancak yeterli bir koşul değildir.
