Fall 2022 - Professor Weltman gave a very biased view on ethics, US politics, and global politics. He shared his Zionist, Eurocentric views to give examples of lethal autonomous weapons and the majority of the class was military propaganda. He truly glorified US's engagement in war and never criticized it the same way he criticized the US's climate policies or gender rights. On the several occasions that the professor mentioned the Middle East, he portrayed it as a threat (pictures of suicide bombers and terrorists), and emphasized how the US and Israel have joint forces to combat Gaza. The content of this class in regards to global issue was severely ill-informed and it never questioned military authority or the need for war. - A large portion of course content is about the professor's life and friends. (some exam questions too) *In terms of workload, this class is very easy. Multiple choice exams based on the slides, and 2 10 page essays and a short presentation. - Professor Weltman shared his OWN views on ethics and failed to question them per the ethical guidelines he taught us about. + He was one of the developers of a US military training software and he was proud to share that without addressing how that can be unethical and how that could have lead to the killing of many lives Overall, it was a very ironic experience to see just how biased he was while teaching engineering ethics. The curriculum is disappointing. Question what you are taught in this class please.
