"Flash of Genius" (2008)

"Good morning, everybody. I want to welcome you all to the first day of the quarter for Applied Electrical Engineering. My name is Dr. Robert Kearns and I'd like to start by talking to you about ethics. I can't think of a job or a career where the understanding of ethics is more important than engineering. Who designed the artificial aortic heart valve? An engineer did that. And who designed the gas chambers at Auschwitz? An engineer did that, too. One man was responsible for helping save tens of thousands of lives, another man helped kill millions. Now, I don't know what any of you are gonna end up doing in your lives, but I can guarantee you that there will come a day where you have a decision to make, and it won't be as easy as deciding between a heart valve and a gas chamber. Everything we do in this classroom ultimately comes back to that notion. All right? Grades count, too."
