    Description of the Ethics Case Study Challenger Disaster course

    The Ethics Case Study Challenger Disaster online PDH course is a part of the Ethics, Laws and Rules category of courses.

    This course provides instruction in engineering ethics through a case study of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.  The minimum technical details needed to understand the physical cause of the Shuttle failure are given.  The disaster itself is chronicled through NASA photographs.  Next the decision-making process—especially the discussions occurring during the teleconference held on the evening before the launch—is described.  Direct quotations from engineers interviewed after the disaster are used to illustrate the ambiguities of the data and the pressures that the decision-makers faced in the months and hours preceding the launch.  The course culminates in an extended treatment of six ethical issues raised by Challenger.

    This course is intended for all engineers land surveyors and architects interested to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of negligence in engineering practice.

    Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

    • Identify two common errors in studying the history of an engineering failure: the retrospective fallacy and the myth of perfect engineering practice

    • Describe the ethical issue of NASA giving first priority to public safety over concerns such as fear of losing Congressional funding
    • Explain who had the right to Thiokol documents relating to the disaster

    • Define informed consent
    • Define ownership of company records
