Originally published on Nov. 21, 2024 – When most people think of engineering courses, they imagine complex equations or intricate machines. To Rich Eva, director of the Pratt School of Engineering’s Character Forward Initiative, engineering is also about being a “good person.”
The new initiative aims to integrate ethics into engineering curriculums, with the goal of creating better engineers and people. By offering workshops, consultations and reading groups, Character Forward helps faculty integrate “character education” into their classrooms.
