Kathleen Lacey, J.D., Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership at California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA
Making an informed, responsible ethical decision is not as easy as it may seem. This workshop provides tools to enhance your ability to frame engineering and business dilemmas in accordance with ethical principles in order to make the critical and informed decisions in the workplace. You'll learn how to apply an ethical framework to future decision-making – using a model that you can put into practice right away. You'll have a better understanding of ethical challenges, how to analyze them while considering implications for any stakeholders, and how to choose the right course of action based on ethical principles.
