About the Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science

The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science was established in the fall of 1995 under a grant (#SBR-9511862) from the National Science Foundation, and currently operates under NSF grant #SES-04285971. The mission of the Ethics Center is to provide engineers, scientists and science and engineering students with resources useful for understanding and addressing ethically significant problems that arise in their work life. The Center is also intended to serve teachers of engineering and science students who want to include discussion of ethical problems closely related to technical subjects as a part of science and engineering courses, or in free-standing subjects in professional ethics or in research ethics for such students.

In designing the Center pages, we have put a premium on speed of loading. This feature is sacrificed only for graphics with high content. The pages themselves were created primarily by students, first at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and since 1997 at Case Western Reserve University (Case). These students have had many invaluable contributions to the design and maintenance of the Center.
