CONTROLS, RISK AND EDUCATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY - THE ETHICAL PROFESSIONAL LINKS

Engineers learn from experience, as one of the author's own early expe riences illustrates. The case method is the best way to bring real-wor ld experience into the classroom. In the emerging discipline of engine ering ethics, the case method is the most appropriate.
