Abstract

Up to now, ethics is mainly addressed as a separate course in a design curriculum. We are developing
a different approach: formulating learning objectives and integrating these objectives in the different
design courses. We hope to inspire other teachers responsible for curriculum building to do the same.
And simultaneously, we hope to inspire design teachers to address ethics in their design courses.
This paper presents some starting points for the development of such a design curriculum.

Keywords: Ethics, learning objectives.
