It is laid out when and how responsibility arises. Basic moral values will be introduced, and together with common moral theories, these will be applied to several typical case studies in engineering. Various Codes of Ethics will be analyzed and discussed. We will also discuss values in the design process, environmental ethics, and space ethics.
There is a reading assignment to every session, which is a text from a pool consisting of introductory teaching material, Codes of Ethics from various organizations and papers about Engineering Ethics. | M. Sc Inga Meyenborg |

This seminar series intends to convey exciting aerospace research questions on a more general level and to allow discussions between experts and audience. Professionals from academia and industry will look into applications from space research, some of which have become vital parts of our everyday life. The technological challenges of astronautics and past, present and future space missions will also be tackled. | Prof. Dr. Annette Ladstätter-Weißenmayer Prof. Dr. Claus Lämmerzahl |

We discuss natural and anthropogenic climate variability with focus on their control and feedback mechanisms. We also provide basic knowledge of instrumental climate data, natural climate archives and climate model output for scenarios of past, present and future climate. All theoretical components of this module are connected to the societal aspect of climate change.
The students will be challenged to discuss climate change impacts to different stakeholders and to communicate with them in a tailored manner. Bridging theoretical with practical knowledge, this course will enable the students to further spread correct scientific content to society and to get inspired and inspire others in the process. | Prof. Dr. Gerrit Lohmann, Dipl.-Phys., MAE |
