Engineering Ethics

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 ENGINEERING ETHICS IN TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY COURSESIntroductionUniversity technology and society courses provide students with the opportunity to studyprofessional or engineering ethics, but ethics seen in a different context from that of a formalengineering ethics course. Ethics can be the unifying core for such courses. The formalprofessional ethics course might follow one or more of several possible approaches: (i) use ofrelevant moral virtues as guides to making decisions, (ii) emphasis on consequences to allstakeholders, or (iii) application of rules or codes that must be followed. These approaches canlead to conflicting solutions. An

Eachtopic includes introductory notes, a glossary of terms and vocabulary quiz, problem sets, at leastone project, and documentation. Since a textbook is not used, students are expected to build areference binder for notes, handouts, and assignments, and maintain an engineering notebook fortheir small projects. In the second year engineering class, students select their own projects andbuild a personal portfolio. Lightly structured, the Engineering class comes with a FIRST TechChallenge robotics team, a chapter of the Technology Students Association, and access to localprograms and

The intent was to engage over 100 undergraduateengineering students each year in a serious pursuit of ways in which progress can bemade on these challenges.Each semester, the program begins with engineering faculty members. A solicitationis sent to all engineering faculty members inviting proposals to support teams ofstudents. The incentive is that the College provides support for up to one graduatestudent who will work with an undergraduate student team, usually ten or moreundergraduate students.

Those involved with this project have typicallyworked individually and then in pairs to analyze scenarios and write response options.
