General
The Option seminar supports option-related curriculum through discussion of ethics, philosophy and research in a seminar-based setting. Guest speakers, presentations and other special activities will highlight various topics of interest, including the present and future research related to the Option. This course will be offered on a pass/fail basis and the assessment will be based on active discussion within the seminar. Students will be encouraged to discuss their viewpoints on philosophical and ethical issues facing the Option, as well as future directions and opportunities. Occasionally, students from across options will be brought together for special discussions and activities related to research and the engineering profession..
All talks are from 5-6pm in BA1200
