Low-traffic neighbourhoods - Teacher version

This case study asks students to examine the arguments made for and against the introduction of low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs). Students are asked to read a journalistic article about the controversies surrounding LTNs in neighborhoods in England during the COVID-19 lockdown. From this, students work together in small groups to identify arguments for and against LTNs, considering the strengths of the arguments presented. After a discussion of these arguments, students should consider how they would decide on this issue, if faced with it as an engineer and/or as a member of the community.

Communicating Research to the Public: Coronavirus, joggers, and social media

This case study asks students to use the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and Adina L. Roskies’ article “Neuroimaging and Inferential Distance” (2007) to discuss and assess a recent controversial example of communicating scientific findings to the public during Covid-19. Students prepare the materials in advance of class, where they work in small groups to assess the case in light of the two sources. The class reconvenes for a plenary discussion in which they generate tips and tops, or good and bad practices, for integrity in the communication of scientific findings in the era of social media.

Freedom and Safety in Transportation: Speed controls and other techno-regulation in driving

This case focuses on Jilles Smids’ paper “The Moral Case for Intelligent Speed Adaptation” (2015) to explore whether techno-regulations (like cars that prevent drivers from speeding) should be used to promote public values like health and safety, to what extent they are in contrast with individual freedom, whether such techno-regulations are morally acceptable, and why or why not.
