Capstone is aparticularly good fit for participants like Alan and Greg who had engineering management experience andso could model the type of design processes and skills that are necessary in a product development

, 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

engineering education can use the standard positive/negativedichotomy. Positive externalities from engineering education could include the general spillovereffects associated with public education such as a more highly educated population [33]. In aneconomic sense, another positive externality could be the increased technological innovation andeconomic growth in a society associated with having more engineers [34], [35], which generallyimproves standards of living in a society. The basic idea here suggests that engineering studentswould incur the costs (and benefits) of deciding to study engineering, which eventually translatesinto a country having more engineers. Negative externalities from engineering education mightarise from having more
