The goal of this program is to support the development of new modules for existing or planned courses, where the modules introduce or explore ethical, policy, legal or social aspects of science, engineering or technology. 

It is expected that faculty proposals will adapt these themes to the learning goals of their particular courses. For examples of past awards, see this site. 

Proposals should sketch the planned additions or changes to the course and outline the pedagogical rationale. Proposals are limited to one page in length; In addition, the current syllabus for the course should be attached. 

The deadline for applications is Dec. 31. Awards will be announced in early January 2016.
