AB  -          Ethical Concerns of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems                        in Engineering ProgramsThe term “unmanned system” can refer to types of systems that were traditionallycontrolled either directly or indirectly through a human operator, but have throughmodern technologies been automated to no longer require a human operator. Examplesof unmanned systems include: unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned surfacevehicles (USV), unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and unmanned underwater vehicle(UUV).Unmanned systems are entering into educational curricula (both K-12 and post-secondary) because they are capture student interest, they are multidisciplinary, andprovide educational opportunities to demonstrate many tangible concepts from STEM. Incollegiate engineering programs, unmanned systems are used both within the curriculum(e.g. capstone design projects) and as part of co-curricular/extra curricular projects (e.g.the Associate for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International’s Student Unmanned AerialSystems Competition). Graduate programs dedicated to unmanned systems engineeringare beginning to emerge to provide specialized engineering skills to support an emergingindustry.This paper seeks to investigate and report the various ethical issues that exist that must beconsidered with respect to engineering education involving robotic systems. Some of theethical issues to be discussed include:    • Educating students and student teams regarding the safe, legal, and ethical usage        of experimental robotic systems such as UAS and autonomous automobiles;    • Addressing concerns of how and to whom unmanned systems to ensure the safe,        responsible, and legal dissemination of information regarding unmanned        technologies within our curriculum and university sponsored programs;    • Educating students and faculty about unmanned technology specific ethical        debates that currently exist within our society such as privacy, public safety,        liability, lethal use, etc.; and    • Responding to external criticism from the media and public regarding programs        that teach about unmanned and autonomous systems.
