Engineering Ethics

lecture focused onhow engineers could design well. This portion of the lecture addressed two main ethical topicsderived from the Doctor Who episode: the problem of scarce resources, and narrowly-definedpurposes and market failures. After each topic was introduced, each instructor facilitated groupdiscussions. At the time, the course was taught with a hybrid modality, so the engineeringprofessor facilitated discussions with in-person students, while the philosophy professorfacilitated discussions with students attending the course online via Zoom.Scarce resources: This topic addressed the suits’ reliance on oxygen as an extreme example of anessential and scarce resource. To connect this topic with real world applications, it was stressedhow

institutionalized cruelty [25] and dominance; their needsand desires are systematically ignored and suppressed. The ways we see and imagine one anothercan be expanded to the broader institutional level; and as argued by Roberts [26] Buber’s I-Itrelations can explain the very possibility of oppression.3. Setting: Revising engineering ethics courseBackgroundAs described in the Introduction section, the original course materials were supplemented withtwo learning modules. One of the authors of this paper facilitated both sessions, each for two andhalf hours, where 14 and 10 students were enrolled in the class, in 2019 and 2020, respectively.The major difference between the two years was the mode of instruction, face-to-face in 2019and online in 2020 during

the future. Heeter20 reported on a 2009 study where MichiganState University instructors and students completed surveys about their technological and peda-gogical expectations for a high quality, in person course in their discipline. In her summarystatement, she concluded: Students were much more likely than were instructors to expect their in-person class instructors to provide an online gradebook, online syllabus, and online weekly announcements. Students were more likely to want interactive online problem sets. Students were considerably less enthusiastic about class discussion and group work in the classroom than were instructors; students were more amenable to online discussion than they were to live classroom discussion

focusgroup protocol. Furthermore, the elements in Bragg’s model are more within the locus ofinfluence for engineering programs and educators with a focus on the college experience. Futurework could employ a more contemporary and comprehensive model of socialization tounderstand ESI in engineering education.Project ContextThis study is part of a larger project exploring ESI education. The mixed methods project beganwith an online survey that was designed to understand educators’ practices and perspectivesrelated to ESI (for more information, see [23],[24]). Respondents (n=1448) were asked if theyintegrate ESI topics in the courses they teach or the co-curricular activities they mentor and wereprompted to indicate the characteristics of the setting
