What do these individuals and groups identify as the main impediments to developing effective responsible research programs? Are there con- 39

Moderator: Francisco Ayala Speakers: Joseph Helble, Deborah Johnson, Michael Mumford, Wendy Williams Respondents: Paul Citron, Hugh Gusterson, Susan Silbey Short Break General Discussion Noon Lunch and Role-Play Exercise “Getting Results” Facilitator: Stephanie Bird 1:30 p.m. Session II: Pedagogical Methods and Materials There is quite a variety of both methods and materials in effect. More than a few consortia provide on-line ­tutorials; conferences are common. What kinds of contents and range of techniques are in use? What are their strengths and their limitations? Whom do they reach, and with what results? What information do we have that enables us to judge their merits? What’s missing? Moderator: John Ahearne Speakers: Julia Frugoli, Kelly Laas, Caroline Whitbeck, Sara Wilson Respondents: Jason Borenstein, J. Britt Holbrook, Simil Raghavan General Discussion 3:30 p.m. Break 3:45 p.m. Session III: Outreach and Assessment Are relevant and important materials and techniques reach- ing the appropriate audiences? Who are the appropriate audiences, and are there useful feedback loops from them to the developers of materials, techniques, and guidance? Are the audiences able to adapt or adopt these resources? What efforts might improve access, use, and feedback and

Moderator: Felice Levine Speakers: Melissa Anderson, Daniel Denecke, Brian Schrag, Joseph Whittaker Respondents: Carl Lineberger, Charles Huff Short Break General Discussion 5:15 p.m. Review of Sessions I, II and III What can we conclude about how to develop and imple- ment programs, how to export them, and how to assess their effectiveness? What can we conclude about develop- ment and use of effective methods and materials? What kinds of research, resource development, and dissemi- nation and assessment activities do we need in order to respond more effectively in the future? Moderator: Mark Frankel 7:00 p.m. Working Dinner at the Marian Koshland Science Museum Speaker: Richard Bissell, On Being a Scientist Informal conversation and continuation of discussion as needed or desired. The workshop planning group will meet at dinner to discuss meeting’s progress and assign follow-up duties. DAY TWO 8:00 a.m. Continental Breakfast 8:30 a.m. Next Steps This session will draft an initial version of the meeting sum- mary, based on the previous day’s discussion and attendees’ reflections about it. The workshop summary will identify currently promising materials and practices and provide

Increasing complexity and competitiveness in research environments, the prevalence of interdisciplinary and international involvement in research projects, and the close coupling of commerce and academia have created an ethically challenging environment for young scientists and engineers. For the past several decades, federal research agencies have supported projects to meet the need for mentoring and ethics training in graduate education in research, often called training in the responsible conduct of research. Recently, these agencies have supported projects to identify ethically problematic behaviors and assess the efficacy of ethics education in addressing them.

With support from the National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Engineering Center for Engineering, Ethics, and Society held the workshop "Ethics Education and Scientific and Engineering Research: What's Been Learned? What Should Be Done?" on August 25 and 26, 2008.

The workshop, summarized in this volume, discussed the social environment of science and engineering education; the need for ethics education for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in science and engineering; models for effective programs; and assessment of approaches to ethics education, among other topics.
