Lastly, the authors realized that as any technology develops,scientists and engineers ask questions to expand their research that start with “What if thistechnology could...?” Similarly, science fiction authors question current technologies and pushfiction by asking the same sorts of questions. These commonalities summarized in Table 1 ledthe authors to want to challenge their students to see and experience these common themes fromthe perspective of the other field to deepen their experience with the material. The goal was thata deeper experience would enhance student learning

, many students often fail to connect their personal experience with technology (e.g.home appliances) with the engineering concepts (e.g. 1st law of thermodynamics) introduced inclass. We are exploring a reconceived approach for introducing students to these importantconcepts. The authors, with expertise in four different engineering disciplines, recognize thatmany discourses in engineering exist in tension with each other. The context in which we teachenergy is too often narrowly defined and framed by both hegemonic disciplinary literacies (i.e.,mechanical engineers tend to focus heavily on steam tables) and dominant cultural perspectives(i.e., White, male, colonial, and heteronormative). Our objective is to redefine the teaching andlearning of

, but as Tang and Nieusma’s articlepoints out, their society was not immediately supportive of the whistleblowers’ plight. Rather, ittook the advocacy of two, short-lived, dissident committees—the Committee for SocialResponsibility in Engineering (CSRE) and the Committee on Social Implications of Technology(CSIT)—with membership overlap in IEEE to codify ethical principles in 1977. The archivalresearch conducted for these two articles demonstrates that the inclusion of ethical principles inat least two professional codes was a fairly recent addition driven by the need to protectengineers and their professional societies from damaging public relations events. Given theirorigins, it is important that engineering ethics educators view professional

This change, plus the ever evolving demands of engineeringin an increasingly globalized and technology dependent world, put additional responsibility onengineering programs to effectively teach students about ethics and societal impacts (ESI). ESIincludes microethics, the decisions and responsibilities of individual engineers, and macroethics,the profession’s collective responsibility in terns of societal implications of engineering andtechnology [3, 4].Despite the growing recognition of the importance of ESI education, there is little consensus onthe most effective approach.
