MIT's Graduate Student Council is sponsoring a case study forum on ethics in engineering and science. We will debate the engineer's ethical responsibilities on the job and within society and examine the consequences of his actions. One of our panelists, Ms. Sylvia Robins, uncovered Fv evidence of government fraud, poor quality assurance, and equal pav violations within her engineering firm. Upon pursuing these matters she was harassed by management, threatened with t II her job, and received death threats against her family. This forum will present the audience with ;7 an opportunity to formulate responses to ethical dilemmas like this which confront the modern engineer. Topics will include whistle blowing, product safety, and corporate responsibility. Open to E the public.

Panelists include:

Ralph Nader: Consumer Advocate Doug Ross: Chief Executive Office, Softech Sylvia Robins: Engineer, Rockwell International
