This lecture introduces major normative ethical theories, including Utilitarianism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics, and Care Ethics. It explores decision-making processes based on these theories and applies an engineering design approach to solve ethical problems. Through examples like budget allocation for surgeries and setting speed limits, students learn to analyze moral problems, make ethical judgments, and reflect on their decisions.
