This course provides an introduction to the ethical reflection of engineering, with examples taken from the areas of medical technology, energy technology, biochemical engineering and others. It offers both an elementary introduction to normative ethics and a variety of specific problems, from the engineer's responsibility over the ethics of robotics to problems of justice and allocation in the larger context of the deployment of high-end medical technolocy under conditions of moderate scarcity. The course addresses
basics of utilitarianism, deontological ethics and virtue ethics
ethical challenges in the construction of semi-autonomous machines
the ethical role and efficacy of professional codes
just allocation of resources in society from the vantage point of medical technology
the responsibility of engineers and whistleblowing
dealing with test subjects and personal data
