Engineering Ethics

. As with other disciplines, engineering typically subsumesethics, appropriating it as its own unique subfield. As a framing, ethics in engineering producesspecialized standards, codes, values, perspectives, and problems distinct to engineering thoughtand practice. These form an engineering education discourse with which engineers engage. It isepistemological in its focus, meaning that this framing constructs knowledge of properdisciplinary conduct. On the other hand, engineering in ethics as a framing device insists thatengineering become a specialized articulation of ethical thought and action. Here, “engineer” and“engineering” are not nouns but verbs, referring to particular processes and technologies fortransformation. One is not an

His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and im- proving engineering students’ ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as well as to participate in the dialogue between scientists, policy-makers, and society.

information, it seems that holding a rosy outlook onthe future of ethics in engineering is quite reasonable.However, we must temper such optimism with an awareness that the ethical issues posed by thescientific and technological advances of the 21st century are more pressing, more complex, andmore immediate than in any previous era. As technology grows more and more embedded inevery aspect of daily life, the need for future engineers to understand their role—andresponsibility—in shaping society exponentially expands. The necessity for a “criticalawareness of the way technology affects society and the way social forces in turn affect theevolution of technology” has never been greater [5]. In other words, efforts must be redoublednot only to expand the

visionary technologies.Science fiction short stories provide a way to merge disciplinary content with the mainstays ofethics education such as stakeholder identification and analysis using differing frameworks.Science fiction has been used in non-technical courses to try to stimulate interest or appreciationfor engineering [11, 12]. These courses often focus on the technology rather than the use oftechnology. However, in recent years, professors have begun to experiment with science fictionshort stories as vehicles for teaching disciplinary ethics (e.g. [13, 14, 15, 16, 17]). The followingsections give a practical, hands-on guide for how an instructor might use a science fiction shortstory to incorporate ethics into a content-driven

The impact of engineering work,including energy systems, extends well beyond the immediate use of technology into the socialinstitutions, distribution of resources, culture, health, and environment. The breadth of desiredengineer competencies reveal the social, cultural, and political dimensions of an engineer’sprofessional practice, despite the predominant perception of engineers as technical experts meetingbusiness needs [3]–[5]. Even as the need increases for collaboration across disciplines, no longercan the technology experts be ‘disconnected from the civil society’ [6].The critical theory perspective and systems paradigm

This allowed free discussion without threat or offence.The fourth theme was the focus the student engineers put on their futures. With regards tostatements about their own futures students tended to differentiate themselves on two axes. Oneaxis ranges from declarations about specific actions to general statements about ambiguousbehaviors.

Engineering ethics hastraditionally been taught with an individualistic approach that emphasizes the action andautonomy of a single actor; however, this approach has been criticized for not accounting for thecontext in which engineers work and their broader role in society [19].
