</div>
<div class="">From machine learning to biological machines and beyond, today’s technology is changing the world - but not always for the better. How can practitioners make sure that the things they build aren’t dangerous, biased, harmful, or unjust? This two-week,
for-credit course will teach students to identify, address, and communicate about the ethical dimensions of their engineering work. The students will learn an <i class="">ethics protocol</i> for use within engineering practice in the first week, then apply
it to a project of their own in the second week. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is a 3-credit course. It will meet during IAP: 14-25 January, from 2-3:30pm.</div>
