The graduate course in research ethics in the Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering at the National University of Singapore consists of a semester long mandatory course titled: "Research Ethics and Scientific Integrity." The course provides students with guiding principles for appropriate conduct in the professional and social settings of scientific research and in making morally weighted and ethically sound decisions when confronted with moral dilemmas. It seeks to enhance understanding and appreciation of the moral reasoning underpinning various rules and legislative constraints associated with research subjects and procedures. Further, students are trained to critically analyse cases and issues associated with scientific misconduct preparing them to act in a responsible and effective manner should they encounter such cases. The diverse background and training of the cohort also provide a unique setting and opportunity for student-initiated collaborative interdisciplinary learning. This article offers a reflective account of the course and some preliminary insights into learning outcomes.
新加坡国立大学综合科学与工程研究生院的研究生研究伦理课程包括一门为期一学期的必修课，名为“研究伦理与科学诚信”。该课程为学生提供了在科研的专业和社会环境中适当行为的指导原则，以及在面对道德困境时做出有道德权重且符合伦理的决策的指导原则。它旨在增进对支撑与研究对象和程序相关的各种规则和立法约束的道德推理的理解和认识。此外，学生还接受培训，以批判性地分析与科研不当行为相关的案例和问题，使他们在遇到此类情况时能够以负责和有效的方式行事。该课程学生群体的多样化背景和培训也为学生发起的跨学科合作学习提供了独特的环境和机会。本文对该课程进行了反思，并对学习成果提出了一些初步见解。
