The purpose of this zero credit course is to familiarize pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees with basic ethical issues in research confronting scientists and engineers. The course includes lectures and student-led discussion sessions on topics such as experimental design best practices, research involving animal subjects, authorship, and research misconduct. Student learning will be assessed through in-class formative assessments as well as small group presentations during the discussion sessions. The course is recommended for all graduate students and postdocs who are engaged in research and is offered annually in C-term.
