In order to moreeffectively prepare students for careers within the field of engineering which necessitates thatgraduates have the ability to generate solutions to ill-structured problems, the ABET EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) [5] has emphasized the importance of integrating such ill-structured problems within civil engineering curriculum. ABET EAC has identified complexproblem solving skills (Outcome 1) as one of its defined learning outcomes. Specifically, thisincludes the “ability to… solve complex engineering problems by applying principles ofengineering, science, and mathematics.” Concurrently, ABET

But this positioning of STS, as scholarship that can provide many critical insights,raises the following questions: How should this knowledge be shared with students? What kindof theoretical and pedagogical framework should guide STS-knowledge exchange betweenfaculty and students, so it does not become an exercise of

However, despite recent critical editions ofthe novel that highlight its relevance for scientists and engineers, some instructors have faceddifficulties successfully integrating the novel into an undergraduate engineering curriculum, andstudents have struggled to appreciate its value to their ethical formation as engineeringprofessionals.

understanding, students must critically examine the importance ofengineering in their field [20]. Ethics should be reconceptualized “as an integrative force ratherthan a discrete requirement” [22]. Students should actively participate in their ethics education,and it should not be separate from their engineering education. It must be relocated “from theperiphery of the curriculum to its core by empowering students to investigate ethics in the waysthat are most meaningful to them” [20]. A proven methodology for doing so is a “modified versionof the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), which asks students to locate an ethical problem in afilm, text, or TV program, and then briefly to describe the problem, analyze its ethical dimensions,and indicate
