a new paradigm for engineering education,one based upon a contemplative pedagogy in conjunction with service learning. The nexus of thetwo paradigms seems to hold great promise in developing the skills in engineering students theNational Academy of Engineering has described. Such a paradigm has been utilized in acombined senior capstone design and engineering ethics sequence.IntroductionMy goal in the present work is to share some teaching tools and resultant impacts on students Ihave recently experienced. I offer them with complete humility in the same spirit of an openingcomment made by the Dalai Lama at a conference on the environment held at MiddleburyCollege in the 1990’s.1 His Holiness began by asserting that he was not very special

ideasborrowed from environmental ethics seem particularly relevant. One such methodology, firstdeveloped by Johnson, termed a morally deep world view, cautions that both the individual andthe system(s) in which that individual is embedded, matter from an ethical point of view.3 Asecond approach uses the development first offered by Thomas Berry4 and further refined bySwimme 5 and Swimme and Tucker.6 This paradigm takes us from an individual or localperspective on ethical reasoning to an Earth and Universe perspective which is alive, integratedand dependent. Berry described three universal principles that ought to govern our response toethical dilemmas. Those principles include differentiation, subjectivity and communion orcommunity. Here

This approach succeeded, as some teamsaccepted the task as an engineering challenge and worked hard to calculate error ranges anddegrees of precision, while other teams were satisfied to find an answer online and submit theirreport quickly.

Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences. It is difficult to distinguish theorigin of the human-centered
