Ethical and Legal and Social Issues in Science

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's ELSI in Science program is a pilot project designed to stimulate discussions on the implications of selected areas of scientific research. These modules probably will be most useful to educators and students at the middle school level. However, older students may benefit from some of the information as well.

The list of topics include:

Please note: Recommendations of other web courses or materials on engineering ethics are most welcome. Cases not already on the web may be sent for inclusion in The Online Ethics Center. These will be subject to editing, if posted. Because the focus of this center is ethics (including policy questions addressed by engineers and scientists) we list only courses in engineering and science ethics. Although courses in the History of Technology or on Technology and Society are not included, we welcome historical cases that raise ethical issues for engineers and scientists.

We invite you to share your curriculum ideas with us and to submit feedback about any of the projects on this site you try. Please use the email icon at the top of the page.
