Presenter: Ingrid V. Albrecht

Description:
Transportation engineers who encounter ethical issues should examine them from two perspectives. First, from the broader perspective of a person who has moral obligations to other people. Second, from the narrower perspective of a member of a professional group with shared standards, aspirations, and values. This Ethics Workshop will use case studies to provide guidance and practice for handling ethical issues through both lenses.

2 PDHs
Light refreshments will be included.
