Name: Ethics Across the Curriculum and the EAC Toolkit Concept
ID: m14038
Language: English (en)
Summary: This module has been built around a presentation given at the Teaching Business Ethics Conference on June 8, 2006. It outlines the ethics across the curriculum program being implemented at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez by discussing (1) a hybrid approach to ethics across the curriculum (EAC) that combines freestanding courses in practical and professional ethics with ethics integration modules for mainstream BSE (business, science, and engineering) courses, (2) an EAC Matrix that identifies existing ethics integration projects and correlates them with moral objectives and accreditation goals, (3) an EAC Toolkit designed to generate pedagogical best practices, and (4) a summary of the process carried out in Business Administration at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez that culminated in the adoption of a Statement of Values for faculty, administration, students and staff. The purpose of this module is to describe these components of the EAC program in some detail and show how they fit together into a broad, comprehensive strategy for integrating ethics into the mainstream business, science, and engineering curriculum. This is part of an NSF-funded project, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF SES 0551779.
