In particular, given our own specific types of expertise,we wanted students to come to appreciate that good engineering thinking, from the get-go,involves thinking about the ethical implications of what is being designed, rather than designingfirst and thinking about the ethical implications afterward. We wanted the course to afford anopportunity to students to come to have an appreciation of the similarities as well as thedifferences between engineering problem-solving and problem-solving in philosophy.

For example, one of the authors of this paper uses lecturetime to discuss how different engineering disciplines evolved over time. Historic and non-western examples were used to highlight elements of engineering that expand students’conception of the profession, while local examples drew students into issues that might directlyimpact their own lives.
