Finally, we hope to evaluate the impact of theintervention on students’ perceptions of their responsibility to address these issues as engineers.Site & ParticipationEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a private, not-for-profit, PhD-granting university withan emphasis on higher education for the aviation and aerospace industries. Research for thisstudy was completed at the XXXX, residential campus, which is a mid-sized, historically Whitecampus, with a predominantly male student body and an annual tuition costs of over $42,000.Our current study includes a total of eight sections of senior capstone design courses fromdifferent degree programs in the College of Engineering.

Some of the debate topics were designed to lead students to inhabit a role anddefend their decision making in that role and based on that context.Final project - analysis of a topic from a chosen branch of engineeringStudents formed pairs for the final project, which was designed to help students practice using thetools they have learned in the semester - biases, ethical frameworks, roleplaying scenarios. This Figure 5: A student made scenario on government corruption.

. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 The Development and Application of a Comprehensive Questionnaire Used to Evaluate the Effect of Engineering Ethics CoursesAbstract:Different countries, colleges and universities, and even majors provide students withdifferent kinds of engineering ethics courses. Practical course evaluation is conduciveto presenting students' learning effects and subsequent course improvement. In theexisting research and practice, the evaluation of engineering ethics education focusingon students' learning output has produced many positive results. On this basis, fromthe perspective of the sustainable development of the curriculum and benefiting morestudents, this study proposes

issues beyond their technical content. As such,ethics education plays a crucial role in engineering licensure. The Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements in 2022-2023 require that students have: “anability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and makeinformed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global,economic, environmental, and societal contexts” [4].Engineers are responsible for designing and building structures, systems, and products that aresafe and effective, and they must do so in a manner that is ethical and responsible [5]. As aresult, engineering licensure boards require applicants to demonstrate a thorough understandingof

U.K. Marche comments, “Sharples’ intent was to urge educators to‘rethink teaching and assessment’ in light of the technology, which he said, ‘could become a giftfor student cheats, or a powerful teaching assistant, or a tool for creativity.’ ”Susan Agostino quoted Robert Cummings, “AI can impact every stage of the writing process –from invention to research, drafting, proofreading and documentation.” She went on to quoteFyfe who said, “Think about it as a partner, that we humans and AI computers are not doingthings the same way and aren’t good at the same things, either.

ethical considerations or virtues are in conflict. Imagine a situationwhere a minor design flaw, which has an astronomically small probability of causing damage(~0%), is identified just after the construction of a multi-story building. The building is stillunder the contractor’s warranty and addressing this flaw will cost the construction companyquite a bit of money to fix. In a situation like this, it might be unclear how to proceed.Regardless, it is the person, who has phronesis, that is best suited to weigh the considerations ina method that generates concern for everyone and to integrate these considerations in a way thatis valuable to everyone [25]. This is exactly what we need in our engineers when it comes toethical decision making
