Ethical Decision-Making for Chemical Engineers

Overview

Ethical decision-making is a vital part of a chemical engineer’s responsibility. By using their technical knowledge and professional standing to support ethical decision-making, chemical engineers can help to positively lead an organisation towards more sustainable business practices and processes.

This course will equip you with the basic knowledge you need to understand and make ethical decisions.

The course includes pre-recorded and interactive content, recommended further learning and an end of course assessment. You will receive an automated end-of-course certificate, subject to successful completion of the assessment.
