Requirements for Postdocs and Graduate Students in the College

  1. All postdocs and graduate students must take the Engineering Ethics course. This includes non-thesis MS students.
  2. A postdoc that was here in the UI College of Engineering as a grad student and took the Engineering Ethics course (as a grad student) will still have to take the course again since recertification is mandated at each new stage of training.
  3. The BS/MS students may take the course in Year 1 if they ask for permission, otherwise they can enroll for Year 2.
  4. If there are special circumstances where postdocs and graduate students can not satisfy the requirements as stated above then they will need to contact the Associate Dean for Research and Faculty.
