Course content
As new technologies continue to evolve rapidly, the significance of engineering ethics is greater than ever. Engineers must recognize that their work carries inherent ethical implications. It’s essential for them to have practical tools that empower moral autonomy, enabling them to navigate thoughtful considerations and make ethical decisions effectively.
This Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) offers first and second-cycle students from all engineering disciplines a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of ethical frameworks and their application in professional practice.
Extracurricular activities included guided campus tour, welcome dinner, a visit to the Replot Bridge and Björkö Archipelago and many more! Detailed schedule will follow closer to the event.
