Teaching

At Texas A&M University I have frequently taught a large course in engineering ethics. The course is team-taught and supported by several teaching assistants. In 2013, when working at Eindhoven University of Technology, I developed and coordinated a new course on the ethics and history of technology (together with prof. Johan Schot), which was taken by 1285 freshman students and taught by a team of about 15 instructors. From 2006 to 2008 I was Director of Studies in philosophy at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. I was responsible for organizing supervisions for their philosophy students, and took part in the admissions procedure. I also did supervisions with students in several other colleges in Cambridge. My most important pedagogical achievements are my textbooks:
​
  1. Ethics for Engineers, Oxford University Press 2019. 
  2. An Introduction to Decision Theory, Cambridge University Press 2009. (2nd edition 2017.)
