UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A team of Penn State undergraduate students, — Olivia Dunham, an industrial engineering student minoring in engineering leadership development, and Angela Lam-Li, a marketing student minoring in international business — were semi-finalists in Lockheed Martin’s seventh annual Ethics in Engineering Competition that took place Feb. 26-28 at Lockheed Martin’s headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland.
More than 200 students and faculty from colleges and universities across the U.S. competed to present solutions to a business ethics case. This year’s hypothetical case highlighted the responsible use of artificial intelligence to assist NASA with accurately quantifying the risk of a collision between a detected asteroid and Earth. Competitors were challenged to work together to find a timely solution while balancing costs, timeline, stakeholders, sub-contractors and ethics.
