Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9]. Finally, some professors may not feel comfortable directlydiscussing race and related topics within an otherwise technical classroom environment; casestudies allow the emphasis to be taken off of

However, students voiced strong support andinterest in having faculty discuss and teach about inclusivity and ethics in their engineeringclassrooms.

For each of these, we offer a synopsis of several key insights, texts, andimplications.

In contrast, Gilligan [14] explicates that connectivity and relations with othersemerge as a powerful axis in women’s moral development; integration of responsibility andcare—rather than universalizable ethical guidelines and equal consideration of others—characterizes the first significant transition in women’s developmental process.
