This $191,532 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations will fund research at San Francisco State University on early career engineers' views of ethics and social responsibility. The grant is part of NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, which supports basic research to strengthen scientific understanding of human behavior and decision-making.
Specifically, the university will conduct a collaborative study from March 2021 through July 2023 to analyze trends, influences, and contexts shaping how engineers early in their careers approach issues of ethics and accountability in their work. Insights from this research could help ensure technology development considers social impacts and responsibilities to society. The total funding amount of $191,532 will support the proposed research activities over the two-year award period.
