Today, students from IRE attended an ethics conference at Itasca Community College (ICC). We were joined by students from ICC engineering and Industrial Technology - Power Generation program (A new program given by ICC). This conference raised awareness of numerous ethical situations with poster boards that the students had made. Topics ranged from nuclear energy to building designs to hunting ethics. Most of the IRE groups chose to use ethics topics that deal with engineering. The topic that our group chose to do was genetic engineering. We thought this was a good topic because there only exists an area of grey. This caused a lot of discussion amongst the people that watched our poster presentation. Overall, the conference went well and relations between ICC and IRE grew.
