Rules Are Made to be Broken
Even if ethics was just about following rules, we likely wouldn’t agree about the rules.
Similarly, each one of us has a conception of what it means for something to be right or
wrong, but we don’t always agree. Despite our various disagreements, it is incumbent
on us to incorporate ethics into our professional decision-making processes.
This session will explore how to make ethical decisions and provide an introduction to
the ethics course that will become a mandatory part of EDAC’s certification program.
