The Ethics of Teaching Ethics in Professional Communication: The Case of Engineering Publicity at MIT in the 1920s.

Russell, David R.

Journal of Business and Technical Communication, v7 n1 p84-111 Jan 1993

Examines the teaching of ethics in the "Engineering Publicity" program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1920s. Suggests that students may be empowered to enter and transform their professions by examining ethical critiques of science, technology, and business within and among the professions they will enter rather than by examining ethical critiques from literary studies.
