Initiatives, experiences and best practices for teaching social and ecological responsibility in ethics education for science and engineering students

For the past 14 years the Social Ecological Responsibility in Science and
Engineering Education (SERSEE) Network has discussed the challenging
but necessary task of teaching social and ecological responsibility to
science and engineering students. Identifying, sharing and developing
best practices, pedagogical materials and tools as well as a strategy for
promoting it at universities can aid and promote this endeavour. This
paper presents the central concepts and pedagogical methods that have
emerged during the informal network’s meetings, and compares these
concepts and methods to trends in the research literature.
