055122 - ETHICAL ASPECTS OF RESEARCH ON DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGIES
Programma dettagliato e risultati di apprendimento attesi
The purpose of the course is to introduce ethical issues, with specific reference to research on dual-use technologies in general, focusing on - and with examples from - aerospace engineering but with a broader view, and challenge the capability of students to identify potential ethical issues in their activity, and develop personal strategies to address them.
Detailed program (each line refers to 4-5 hours of lecture/seminar/laboratory):
1. General ethical issues, with a focus on engineering, safety, accident investigation, and prevention. 2. Case studies of ethical issues in aerospace engineering: DC-10, Challenger STS, Concorde, unapproved aircraft parts. 3. Focus on dual-use technologies, with particular reference to aerospace research and applications: definitions, examples, regulations, assessment, and related work opportunities. 4. Seminars on case studies involving dual-use technologies, addressing technical and legal aspects, given by experts. 5. Laboratory on ethical issues detection and addressing.
Note Sulla Modalità di valutazione
The evaluation will be based on the outcome of the final (virtual) laboratory; alternatively, students who are unable to attend the laboratory can choose to discuss a topic previously agreed upon with the instructor.
