| SEFI SIG Ethics - Best Formal Paper |
|
We celebrate SEFI SIG Ethics members Diana Martin (University College London) and Gunter Bombaerts (TU Eindhoven) who have been awarded the prestigious Best Formal Paper by Early Career Scholars at the 33rd annual conference of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| Their research explored ethical decision-making processes in the context of real-life sociotechnical Challenge Based Learning projects, and identified frustration occurring for students at each project stage. As previous awards were conferred to US based researchers, this marks a rare acknowledgement of developments in engineering ethics education research conducted in Europe. The SEFI Ethics SIG community aims to support teachers and researchers interested in this topic. |

|
|
| First stakeholder reactions to the proposed ‘higher education package’ (such as by EUA) warmly welcome the initiative while highlighting the need to advance the implementation of all agreed reforms in the entire European Higher Education Area (EHEA). |
