current political system [17]. While locus of control has been studied extensively since the 1980’s, there is no generalconsensus as to the correlation between the locus of control and ethical decision-making. Studieshave shown no correlation between the two constructs, while others have reported that aninternal locus of control is positively correlated to ethical decision-making [10],[14]. An internallocus of control means that the individual feels they are in control of a given behavior [16].While not indicative of ethical behavior, the perception of being in control when faced with anethical dilemma may positively correlate to ethical decision-making and ethical awareness. Personality has been used to elucidate a variety of

such anintegration of ethics into engineering education.Background and MotivationThe rules of professional practice in engineering until the early 1900’s were conditionedby the fact that engineers looked on themselves as loyal to a firm or a larger entity such asthe military or public works that employed them. Historically, engineering as a field –rather than a “profession” --and then as an academic discipline, originated from theseroots in the late 1740’s with the establishment of the first “civil” (as opposed to“military”) engineering department in France in the École Polytechnique in 1794 [1], [2].The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852 and is the oldestengineering society in the United States.

-relatedpositions [7]. Similarly, business ethics arose from philosophers’ interest in understanding whatconstitutes right and wrong behavior in the context of competitive financial transactions [8]. As aprogram of inquiry, some have dated the historical roots of business ethics to the mid 1970’s,when the first academic conference in business ethics was held [9]. Indeed, some of the samephilosophers interested in applied and practical ethics crossed contextual boundaries, applyingthe same structures of thought to several disciplinary realms. Bioethicist Tom Beauchamp is agood example of such cross-overs, having published one of the earliest anthologies in businessethics [10] just a few years after publishing his major work in bioethics.The same holds for

That means an increase in webinar participation wasassociated with an increase in their engagement ratings. Framed in the negative perspective,there was a decrease in the engagement ratings associated with a decrease in the number ofwebinars a student participated in. This study cannot deduce a causative relationship betweenwhether a student was disengaged because they did not (or could not) participate in a livewebinar, or did whether they chose to not participate in a live webinar because they weregenerally a disengaged learner, or if it was due to some other causal factor(s) (Lumgair
