ETHICS ACROSS THE CURRICULUM.
For three years HT has been teaching its faculty how to integrate professional ethics into its technical courses. Now you (or your faculty) can benefit from IIT's successful experiment. During Summer 1994, IIT, under a grant from the National Science Foundation, will be offering to faculty at other institutions a one-week workshop the purpose of which is to transmit what IIT has learned.

The emphasis will be on pedagogy, not theory. Support available. Exact dates will be announced later.

Dearborn, Chicago, IL 60616 (ph. 312-567-3017 or fax. 312-567-3493).
