This is evident in media reports of large-scale engineering failures (e.g. [1] ), publicdebates about emerging technologies [2], and the commonplace ethical dilemmas that engineersmight confront in everyday practice [3]. As a result, engineering students’ and professionalengineers’ perceptions and understanding of the ethical implications of their work is of greatimportance.In this paper, we use the moral exemplars identified by engineering students as a tool to exploretheir ethical perceptions over their years of undergraduate studies and the subsequent transitionto professional practice or graduate school.

In following decades,engineering educators addressed this need by including courses on technical writing in theircurricula. But some educators felt that approach was insufficient and they debated whetherwriting courses should be elective or required. For example, Davis, a professor of English at theAir Force Institute of Technology who surveyed 245 professional engineers in 1975 on theimportance of technical writing in their careers, summarized the situation at the time: “Althoughtechnical writing is coming to be accepted as a respectable course offering in engineeringprograms, it is still regarded as an ‘add-on’ by
