Student Outcomes:

To recognize ethical issues.

To develop critical thinking and self-confrontation skills.

To develop tolerance toward disagreement and the inevitable ambiguities in dealing with ethical problems.

To elicit a sense of moral obligation and develop a personal code of ethics.

Project Outcomes

Integrate ethics into vocational, technical, nursing, and business courses.

Challenge students to understand basic principles of ethics, to think and write critically, and to confront inconsistencies in their own ethics and values systems.

Establish a faculty renewal program through shared study of ethics, so we may re-energize as scholars as well as teachers.

Develop active interaction between faculty and administration from departments across the campus to enrich interdisciplinary cooperation and collegiality.

As the year was planned, these outcomes remained uppermost as goals for the project. Each participant was pretested, using two separate instruments, to determine a baseline of attitude and knowledge. Participants worked to promote knowledge and skills necessary to meet the above objectives. The case studies included in this source book are the results of the summer seminar.
