The courseinstructors have found the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios to generate more enthusiastic andhigher level discussion than case studies that focus solely on ethics. The paper describes use oftwo different EPSA scenarios, the standardized questions which are used to prompt the studentdiscussion, the EPSA rubric, and recommended facilitation plan for adoption by others.IntroductionEngineering programs often contain a senior level “Professional Issues” course to cover
