Robert W. Seidel, Ph.D.
Recent events here and at other universities have led professional associations, government agencies, and the graduate school to focus on the need for engineering ethics education (EEE) for graduate students. Bob Seidel, the Institute of Technology's Research Ethics Advocate, will discuss these changes and the ways in which EEE can enrich the lives and professional careers of engineers. Prof. Robert W. Seidel received his training at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a Ph.D. degree in the History of Science. He taught at Texas Tech University as well as at the University of Minnesota. From 1985-94, Dr. Seidel, was a group leader for the Bradbury Science Museum, and is now a staff member in the Center for National Security Studies (CNSS). He is a science historian and co-author with John Heilbron of "Lawrence and His Laboratory" and volume one of "A History of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory" (University of California Press, 1990). He contributed to the forthcoming history of wartime Las Alamos, "Critical Assembly," by Lillian Hoddeson and others. He has written articles on the Department of Energy's national laboratories, military research and development, and the history of nuclear physics. He is a tenured faculty member of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and is Director of the *Charles Babbage Institute for the History of Information Processing at the University of Minnesota. To learn more about articles written by Robert Seidel during his tenure at Los Alamos check out the following website: http://www.lanl.gov/worldview/welcome/history.html#50. *The Charles Babbage Institute moved from Walter Library to the Elmer L. Andersen Library on the West Bank Campus of the University of Minnesota during Fall Semester 1999. Faculty Host: Prof. Frank A. Kulacki |
