Question

Each group is to come up with a hypothetical ethical dilemma that an engineer may face.
First, pick a type of engineer (perhaps what your major is…). Then figure out what sort of
work they do (perhaps a job you hope to have one day…). Finally, invent a scenario that
could arise such that the engineer is faced with an ethical dilemma.
Now on to the “fun” part! It is up to your group to play out the scenario anyway you want.
For instance, in your groups eyes, the engineer could (a) make all of the ethically correct
decisions/actions, (b) make all of the ethically wrong decisions/actions, or (c) make a
combination of right and wrong decisions/actions.
Your group will then put together a short (~ 10 minute) powerpoint presentation that details
your scenario. Your group does NOT need to write a paper, just a simple presentation.
Since this is a remote class environment, your group will simply send me the presentation.
At the end of your presentation, your group should pose 5 questions related to the scenario.

[What I want you to do is write down what you will include in each slide for the scenario you will create. It needs to be at least 10 slides for the PowerPoint and the last slide should be 5 questions related to your scenario. !!!!!]
