This course will apply ethical reasoning to questions about the environment and our place in the natural world. Students will study a variety of ethical theories and consider the views of thinkers from the past and contemporary society. Topics will include animal rights, conservation and use of natural resources, and environmental justice with respect to pollution and climate change.

Repeatable for a maximum of six credit hours.

This is a special topics course designator that can be used for any of a variety of topics that cut across disciplines within the broad realm of integrated science and engineering. Requisites may vary by section.

Students will reflect upon their experience gained in a prerequisite supervised robotics project course, a robotics internship, a robotics research project or an equivalent experience. Results will be disseminated to the academic community via a presentation, a report and/or other means.
