Students will gain knowledge about the obligations, roles and professional conduct of engineers in a modern society. It stimulates students to develop a basic awareness of the legal, environmental and socio-economic factors that have a significant impact on engineering design. Students will analyze these factors, evaluate professional responsibilities, apply critical thinking to real-world scenarios, and develop an understanding of ethical considerations in engineering practice. Industry professionals are invited to deliver some of the lectures, aiming to provide students with an understanding of social analysis adequate for the society in which they will work. Through engaging with lectures, case studies, and guest speaker sessions, students will cultivate insights into the social dimensions of engineering, equipping them to become responsible professionals capable of addressing the challenges in our rapidly evolving world.
