’ ethical formation. Theresearch question that we seek to address is, “In what different ways and to what extent doesparticipation in departmental engineering and science courses cultivate STEM students’ ethicalformation?” We define ethical formation in terms of several skills and dispositions, includingempathy [10], civic-mindedness [11], and ethical reasoning [12].This study is part of a larger project that strives to explore the effectiveness of integratingcommunity-engaged pedagogy and ethical reflection in the science and engineering curriculum[13]. During the 2018-2019 academic semesters, a subset of faculty from the courses surveyed inthis study participated in a faculty learning community focused on ethics instruction andcommunity-engaged

Engineering Ethics

Engineering and Technology (ABET) has made anexplicit statement in its criteria that engineering programs must demonstrate that their students arehave “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”. Many engineering schoolshave developed various trails to deliver ethical contents, either through creating standing aloneethical courses, or through embedding the ethical topics in traditional engineering courses,typically capstone design. This pragmatic approach has been supported by engineeringprofessional societies such as NSPE, ASME, IEEE, etc. which historically have played a crucialrole in shaping the content of US engineering ethics education (Downey & Lucena 2004). Underthe general principle of “doing no harm”, each association
