Ventilation systems in high-speed trains - Teacher version

This exercise analyses the cabin ventilation systems of high-speed trains to work toward creating a safe, comfortable and energy efficient interior climate. Due to a growing awareness of the health risks of traveling in shared spaces, train travel has gone down (during the Corona pandemic and in its aftermath). Because train travel is better for the environment and necessary for the continuance of the train company, train companies aim to provide better ventilated cabins to encourage travel without raising costs.

Anti-Value Sensitive Design - Educational format

This exercise is for students who are already familiar with the methodology of Value Sensitive Design by having had multiple lessons on the theory. The format offered here is a fun and practical application to help students see the real consequences of the ideas they have been learning about, by intentionally reversing the goals to see how outcomes are affected. It is a pedagogical approach to provide students a humorous and inventive way of seeing the importance of Value-Sensitive Design, by instead implementing its opposite. Anti-Value Sensitive Design (AVSD) is identical to VSD except that the values chosen will be negative: replacing fairness with unfairness, and so on. In VSD methodology, the key is understanding that values must be part of technological design and must be consciously distinguished early in the design process. In this exercise, students will make a pitch to an “Evil Boss” highlighting “anti-values” and see how designs are impacted.

Justice in Transportation. The cases of Uber and OV ChipKaart

This exercise will look at justice and equity concerning Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) in transportation through specific theories of justice and compare two technological innovations (Uber and OV ChipKaart) in the classroom. The ethical implications of these innovations will be debated in order to make conscious decisions about fair systems of mobility.

Offshore Drilling and the Culture of Risk - Teacher version

This exercise explores the complexity of risk-taking and ethical choices by looking at the dangers involved in a resource humans rely on heavily and asking what level of danger is acceptable for our everyday conveniences to remain available. The focus of this exercise is on “the problem of many hands” and how we can take responsibility for choices that are often made by ambiguous consensus.

Smart Grids and Inclusive Design

In this exercise, students will explore the possibility of designing smart energy grids using the approach of value-sensitive design. Rather than using a rule-based ethical theory to determine the best objective answer, students will approach the question with a focus on the ways that different members of society will be affected differently, specifically by looking at values and needs.

Changing Roles in Medical Care: Haptic Surgical Robots

Training with haptic robots may reduce mistakes by allowing doctors to have more practice before they work on human beings. However, they do not provide training in interaction, patient care or familiarity with living and embodied subjects, though perhaps it is unclear how important this is in current medical training. Haptic robots are also more expensive for more highly sensitive technology, and this may or may not deliver on investment. This case allows students to consider how much virtual training will alter the experience of a surgical education and what the pros and cons of these new technologies may include

Professional responsibility

The concept of professional responsibility is a component of ethics relevant in particular to how ethics relates to practical training. A sense of personal morality or the obligations one has to other roles can be distinguished from the responsibility someone has as a member of their profession. In this context we will focus on what the profession demands, independently from the degree to which all responsibilities may or may not be judged to align. This will allow a clearer view of exactly what it is that demanded by the workplace as opposed to other elements of one’s life.
