- Using the ethics bowl to integrate
- Emerging out of the iit eac
- Eac toolkit - uprm ethics bowl
This module describes and prepares students for the ethics bowl activity that is carried out in some of the professional ethics courses at the University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez Campus. An earlier version of the activity is described in a report for the IIT EAC Summer Institute Workshop. This updated version is being developed through the NSF funded EAC Toolkit Project (SES-0551779).
Main content ( module / exercise / case )
Module introduction
The "Prerequisite link" included in the upper right-hand corner of this module opens the module content located at the IIT
Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions . This file, "Report on Ethics Integration Projects," was prepared by Dr. Jose Cruz-Cruz as the follow-up to a workshop he attended at the Illinois Institute of Technology on ethics across the curriculum. Directed by Michael Davis (Senior Fellow at the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions), the IIT EAC workshop was funded by the National Science Foundation.
Module activities
- Open the link to the IIT Ethics Bowl Packet
- Read the section beginning on page 2, "The Ethics Bowl at UPR - Mayaguez"
- Read the cases in the Appendix from page 8 to page 12.
- Prepare a position paper on each case. Since the cases terminate at a decision point, make a decision and justify it in terms of reversibility, harm/beneficence, and publicity. Then carry out a global feasibility analysis. For more on the tests and a decision making framework consult the module, "Three Frameworks in Ethical Decision-Making." See link above.
- Prepare for the Ethics Bowl debate by studying the procedures and scoring criteria presented in the report at IIT.
The ethics bowl can be divided into eight stages
- Team 1 receives its case and gives an initial presentation taking an ethical position and providing an ethical justification.
- Team 2 makes a commentary that critically analyzes Team 1's presentation.
- Team 1 responds to Team 2's commentary.
- Fifteen minutes are alloted for the judges in the peer review teams to ask Team 1 questions. After this, the judges/peer review teams score the first half of the competition without announcing the results.
- Team 2 receives its case and makes an initial presentation in which it states and justifies its decision or position.
- Team 1 gives a commentary to Team 2's presentation. They can take a counter-position as well as reveal weaknesses in Team 2's position and justification.
- Team 2 responds to Team 1's commentary.
- Team 2 answers questions from the judges for 15 minutes.
Four Media Files open key documents for the Peer Reviewed Ethics
Bowl held in Corporate Governance classes at UPRM. The first file provides a presentation that will help to orient you to the Ethics Bowl. The second and third files contain the score sheets which also serve as rubrics assessing your achievements in the debating criteria of
(1) Intellligibility, (2) Integrating Ethical Concerns, (3) Feasibility, and (4) Moral Imagination and Creativity . The final Media File provides Ethics Bowl rules modified to fit the peer review format.
Questions & Answers
Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

What is the direction and net electric force on q_{1}= 5µC located at (0,4)r due to charges q_{2}=7mu located at (0,0)m and q_{3}=3\mu C located at (4,0)m?
what is the change in momentum of a body?
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

Someone
which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle

how do lnternal energy measures
Esrael
Two bodies attract each other electrically. Do they both have to be charged? Answer the same question if the bodies repel one another.
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you.
Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.
Dlovan
Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?

What is specific heat capacity
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
