However, traditional engineering education tends not to equip future engineers with thecritical thinking and tools necessary for interpreting their obligations in relation to codes ofprofessional ethics and the duty to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.Ongoing environmental and societal challenges (ranging from social inequality to the climatecrisis) urgently require the development of an engineering workforce that can perform successfullyin a multicultural and globalized world.

For his second master's thesis, he focuses on identifying the individual and institutional factors that contribute to a "culture of disengagement" from the ethical dimension of engineering work among students in the engineering profession. His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and improving engineering students' ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as

Social responsibility attitudes among undergraduate computer science students: an empirical analysisAbstractScholars have called for improved ethics and social responsibility education in computer sciencedegree programs in order to better address consequential technological issues in society. Indeed,rising public concern about computing technologies arguably represents an existential threat tothe credibility of the computing profession itself. Despite these increasing calls, relatively little isknown about the ethical development and beliefs of computer science students, especiallycompared to other science and engineering students. Gaps in scholarly research make it difficultto design and evaluate ethics education

graduate attributes that address issues such ascommunications, the role of engineers for society and the environment, ethics, or lifelonglearning, are often taught in standalone courses in otherwise packed “technical” curricula, whereconnections to engineering can be tenuous. Student workloads fail to represent the humane,ethical society we try to instill, with study schedules that disrupt healthy eating, sleeping, orengagement with the world. Engineering education rarely has student-centric pathways andflexible assessment to overcome systemic barriers to diverse learning. Attempts to tackle thesechallenges individually often prove difficult, where the issues are often intertwined. As a result,the Space Engineering program at the Lassonde School

Each member of theteam provided an evaluation of their team members working on the project. The evaluationresults were shared with each student as an aggregate (without disclosing the names of teammembers who provided the comments) if there were project participation issues. The intra-teamevaluation was used by the instructor to adjust the team assignment scores based on their peer-perceived participation levels.

Results are presented between control groups that did not participate in theempathy module and those who did as well as from pre-module and post-module surveys.Conclusions are further drawn from an analysis of the assignments. It is found that thisintervention produces stronger outcomes in upper-level students who expressed more difficultyin crafting empathic responses to professional scenarios than first-year students.

Re-contextualizing civil engineeringcourses has shown to increase students' motivation, sense of social responsibility, and agency.The ASCE Code of Ethics states that “Engineers … first and foremost, protect the health, safety,and welfare of the public,” a notion that was first added to the code in 1977. In recent years,some civil and environmental engineering (CEE) faculty members and programs have respondedto this ethical imperative by re-contextualizing civil engineering education in relation to thecommunities (“the public”) the civil engineer is ethically obligated to protect and serve.

of this paper, I propose three definitions aligned with engineeringresearch, and then later examine attributes of other possible definitions from the data collected inthe study.Macroethics and microethics were defined by Joseph Herkert in [8] in a paper that reflected onvarious viewpoints of engineering ethics: “Putting all these frameworks together, an interesting pattern emerges. Engineering ethics can be viewed from three frames of reference—individual, professional and social— which can be divided into ‘microethics’ concerned with ethical decision making by individual engineers and the engineering profession’s internal relationships, and ‘macroethics’ referring to the profession’s collective social
