Description

What would lead you to describe someone as "a good engineer"? Technical competence is part of the answer, but not the whole. For the rest, we will consider the function of engineers in their societal role as professionals, and the habits or dispositions of character appropriate to that role.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
