HS1102 – Community Service

Credit Hours:  0 + 1

Pre-requisite: None

Introduction:

The majority of the world lives below poverty line or above it. In Pakistan that’s around 60-70% of the population. This is the oppressed class deprived of the resources to fulfill their basic needs like food, shelter, health care, education etc. Some of them out of desperation indulge in street crime, prostitution, drugs, target killing, etc as the bigger fish in the society uses them for their own advantage. The remaining 30% if want to live in a stable society must feel the responsibility to enable the deprived ones to get of this desperation by helping them in a sustainable way. This is their moral, religious (Muslim, Christian, Hindu etc), social responsibility as if you don’t try to extinguish the fire then the same fire can harm you and your loved ones as well some day. By understanding the problems of the masses, an educated, civilized, sensitive person gets motivated to utilize his skill set to solve that problem.

Objective of the course is to make a social intervention and practically solve a problem for a destitute and desperate family in a sustainable way so that they remain hopeful that there are still good people in this society, who can care for them. Class discussion will focus on philosophical aspects of this course and to inculcate a service oriented mindset among the student through discussions.

Contents:

Poverty and the root cause, ● social responsibility, ● politics of poverty, ● what engineers can do to help? ● Are there bigger problems then poverty? ● If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem, ● butterfly effect, ● Ideological background of modern technology and its social consequences, ● Career choices in the light of social responsibility, ● Tech. Ideas on TED.com and their relevance to Pakistani circumstances. Etc.

Project: Identify a needy family through references who is financially challenged; help them establish a small business like French fries, burger stall, pop corn, vegetable, or fruit cart, tailoring business etc by raising funds from neighbors, friends, relatives etc. Getting funds from your own family members like father, mother, brother or sister, isn’t allowed.

Presentations: There will be three presentations (a) one in the 2^nd week in which students will present the details of the needy family they have identified and proposed solution along with the budget (b) at the time of midterm in which students will explain solution they have implemented for the family (c) in the last class in which students will explain the impact which their solution has brought. Each presentation represents a project milestone.

HS4206 – Professional and Social Ethics

Credit Hours:  2 + 0

Pre-requisite: None

Introduction:

Market and social forces are rewriting the roles and responsibilities of businesses. Though the profit motive of business is understood and accepted, people do not accept it as an excuse for ignoring the basic norms, values, and standards of being a good citizen. Modern businesses are expected to be responsible stewards of community resources working toward the growth and success of both their companies and their communities.

Since Engineers are very much part of the society and any organization, so as a professional they are obligated to fulfill their responsibility towards the society in professional and ethical terms. Hence learning professional ethics in a way becomes mandatory for engineers so that they can play their due role as a professional towards the society.

Contents:

1. Human values
2. Engineering Ethics
3. Engineering as Social Experimentation
4. Safety, Responsibilities and Rights
5. Global Issues
