the case study. Mostgraduate students, especially domestic graduate students, did not perceive there to be an ethicalissue present. Most domestic graduate students deflected the issue of foregoing a family and onlysaw an issue with the situation if the mentor explicitly made it clear that the student could notpursue a family and articulated that it was normal to feel pressure to pursue similar researchinterests. International graduate students had highly variable opinions with some ignoring theissue of foregoing a family and focusing on possible negative career impacts, while anotherfound the situation completely unethical because of the influence on personal life decisions. Allfaculty saw this case study as having ethical issues mostly

Engineering Ethics

challenge will be integrating ethics in all programs andreaching all engineering students [15]. However, achieving this end will require overcoming“resistance from students, scientific educators, school directors and from the professionitself or sometimes from employers” [15, p. 300]. In the United States, 80% of engineeringstudents graduate from programs that do not require an ethics course [7]. Althoughchallenges in engineering ethics education have been well documented, the literature mainlycomes from the observational and anecdotal perspective of few educators. This researchattempts to better synthesize and characterize the challenges that faculty have encounteredand how they have overcome them so that lessons can be extracted from their

workshops, in which the BE faculty and ourproject team explored frameworks of ethical reasoning, pedagogy for ethics education,and ethics-related learning objectives. These engagement activities resulted in a list of 11ethics related learning objectives agreed upon by the BE faculty; these learning objectivesformed the basis of an ethics-across-the-curriculum experience for BE students. Informed by the interview findings and the list of ethics learning objectives, theauthors continue to work with a team of BE instructors to develop appropriate coursecontents, instructional materials, and delivery methods in four successive courses thatspread across the junior and senior years of the BE curriculum. The design,implementation, and assessment of

The coursealso includes a field trip that provides opportunities for students to talk directly with membersfrom various stakeholder groups in the VA coalfields including state regulators, industrymembers and local citizens.3. SurveyAppendix A includes the survey instrument used in the first year of the study analyzed here. Itwas designed to measure students’ knowledge, abilities, and attitudes [15] related to CSR andcollect relevant background information to explore possible connections between those and thedemographic information, students’ motivations for pursuing engineering, their career desires,and their civic activities. The survey reflects feedback from an expert panel of
