2017 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Section Annual Conference Hypothetical Cases in Engineering Ethics Steve E. Watkins Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, Missouri USA and United States Air Force Academy, Colorado USAAbstractAn important educational subject for engineering students is engineering ethics. Commoninstructional objectives are to develop knowledge of ethical principles, e.g. professional codes,and to apply these principles to specific situations. Case studies are useful instructionalexamples and exercises and cases are central to student ethics competitions. Historical casestudies emphasize

brainstorming sessions, theimportance of iterations in design and documenting a design1,2,3. As part of this activity, thestudents learned to create 3D models of parts and assemblies.The activity is part of two freshman courses offered during the freshman year, MECH1100 andMECH1208. These courses have evolved from lecture based to project based courses withsupporting lectures. The two courses cover topics related to mechanical engineering: engineeringdesign, engineering drawing, 3D modeling of parts and assemblies, design innovation, computertools, project management, reverse engineering, engineering ethics, mechanical components,forces on structures, fluids, and thermal energy.In the 3D design activity, students learned the important role which CAD

that can set pressure on the government to create environmental regulations forcurrent and future oil extraction operations in the country. The NSE emphasizes the need to“enforce the maintenance of discipline and strict standards of ethics in the practice of theengineering profession in Nigeria”33, however ethic courses do not seem to be part of theengineering curriculum at Nigerian universities. As long as ethics is not part of the academiccurriculum, Nigeria will continue to suffer from corruption and remain classified as a developingcountry despite its richness in natural resources.References 1.

Students learning outcomes related to this course include all of ABETaccreditation criteria: 3(a) through 3(k). Two of those criteria specifically address the need forsustainability. Criterion 3(c) recognizes the need to incorporate sustainability within engineeringdesign. It states that engineering programs must demonstrate that students have [1]: “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”In addition, Criterion 3(h) states

of handling liveanimals, ethics, biosafety as well as the needed training and certification would be usuallyparticularly stressed. Once approved, the student would develop a timeline of tasks for twoconsecutive semesters with guidance from the faculty mentor, and get started with thetraining/activities right away. During both semesters a number of university-level deadlines wereimposed that included completing individual chapters such as the introductory, literature reviews,etc. as well as monthly progress reports and contingency plans. During the second (final) semester,students needed to submit close-to-final drafts of their honors thesis to the Division of StudentAffairs for critique and feedback. Once approved after a number of revisions
