Ethics Across the Curriculum at UPRM: A Roadmap for STEM Integration

This chapter presents over three decades of EAC (ethics across the curriculum) experience at UPRM, the second largest campus of the University of Puerto Rico. An introductory section outlines our evolving concept of EAC. The second part outlines four initiatives, three of which were funded by the National Science Foundation: interdisciplinary faculty workshops in EAC, GERESE (Graduate Experience in Research Ethics in Science and Engineering), and the EAC Toolkit. The final section covers strategies for sharing EAC best practices and methods for refashioning materials from faculty workshops into EAC modules and activities. In short, this paper hopes to provide readers from similarly situated programs with a roadmap for developing a successful EAC program.
