Bottom-Up Ethics: Real World Training for Professional Practice

For students, opportunities to apply ethics training in real world circumstances are rare, especially for those who will eventually work in multiple disciplinary teams where members may have different levels of training in, and interpretations of, what constitutes ethical practice. Here, the authors describe an interactive two-day workshop that has been used successfully in an Introduction to the Professions (ITP) course in Illinois Tech's biomedical engineering program. This module could be adopted for use in almost any course or workshop that seeks to introduce students to the intricacies of research ethics.
