| SEFI JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION ADVANCEMENT
|
|
A new SEFI JEEA paper by Olya Kudina, Joost Mollen, Jordi Viader Guerrero, Dmitry Muravyov from TU Delft, and Juan Pablo Bermudez from University of Southampton, explores how relational ethics can be taught in engineering by having robotics students craft companion robots and reflect on human-robot relations. It offers fresh insights for integrating ethics into technical education. |
