BME 609 - BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ETHICS


College of Engineering

Credits: 1

This course presents an engineering-based approach to study the system of ethics applicable to biomedical engineering. This course will describe and examine the responsibilities of biomedical engineers to stakeholders, e.g. patients, research subjects, and engineering clients as well as to the legal system (where applicable) and the profession as an entity. As a scholarly discipline, biomedical engineering ethics draws upon principles from subjects such as: the philosophy of science, the philosophy of engineering, and the ethics of technology. Materials from these principles will be used in this course with adaption to the special circumstances attending the practice of Biomedical Engineering.
