This webinar will discuss the historic and contemporary role engineering has played in Indigenous communities and how we as engineers can move forward in a spirit of reconciliation. We will talk about what exactly is meant by decolonization and why we need to address this issue. In order to better understand this role we will look at some contemporary engineering issues in Indigenous communities and review some traditional Indigenous design. We will also talk about UNDRIP and how that might affect engineering projects in the future.
In this course you'll learn about the basis of professional self-regulation and the inherent ethical responsibilities of engineers and geoscientists through real and theoretical case studies.
In this module, you'll learn about professionalism, conflict of interest, and how to conflict of interest through some case studies.
