Dr. Jaume Armengou, the Vice Rector of Academic Organization and the Teaching Staff, gave the lecture «Ethics and Technology» for secondary-school students as part of the Philosophy Seminar.

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Armengou discussed the principles of ethical conduct applied to real-life engineering cases. The speaker outlined different issues and discussed what ethical guidelines could be followed to resolve them, moral dilemmas to be considered in particular cases. The talk generated a debate among the students, who responded to questions and asked about the paradoxes Jaume Armengou proposed.

Almost forty secondary-school students attended the lecture, which was given as part of the series of Philosophy Seminars organized by Dr. Magda Bosch for secondary-school students.
