#24 Diana Martin from UCL (UK) on Intercultural ethics

Welcome back to the third episode of this fourth season of the SEFI podcast! In this first episode we talk to Dr. Diana Martin, a Senior Research Fellow within the Centre for Engineering Education (CEE) at University College London (UCL). Diana applies knowledge obtained during her study of both philosophy and liberal arts in her work into the implementation of ethics, sustainability and societal aspects within engineering education, having completed her PhD project entitled “Towards a Sociotechnical Reconfiguration of Engineering and an Education for Ethics, a Critical Realist Investigation into the Patterns of Education and Accreditation of Ethics in Engineering Programmes” in July 2020.Join Dr. Natalie Wint (University College London) and Dr. Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) to learn about incorporating a more globalised approach to engineering ethics education.shownotes: https://www.sefi.be/2024/06/17/podcast-season-4-episode-3-european-engineering-educators-is-online/Timestamps0.00 Welcome and introduction to episode0.38 Podcast Intro0.59 Experiences in teaching ethics to engineering students from Natalie and Neil2.31 Diana's Background10.18 How Diana's experiences in different global contexts inform her approach to engineering ethics education11.38 How ethics and intercultural ethics are conceptualised12.37 Individual and collective responsibilities (microethical vs macroethical approaches)16.44 Relevant values within engineering ethics and value sensitive design24.00 The power of engineers in creation of technological artefacts: Introducing participatory/community-based approaches27.15 Variation in meanings and emphasis on values in different contexts and cultures34.33 WEIRD populations37.16 How do we do this in the classroom?
