engineering students are not prepared by current pedagogies to actethically? To frame this question this paper questions how well rules-based, or deontological,ethics provides useful guidelines in the case that the domain in which decisions are made becomecomplex or when technology is changing rapidly. Given that some companies report the half-lifeof information is as short as six months [private communication], can engineering ethics alwaysprovide useful guidance to action, or are there situations where other ethical frameworks aremore appropriate?Engineering ethics is an often-discussed subject, and substantial work in engineering educationaddresses how to effectively teach ethics [1]–[3], evaluate learning outcomes [4], and identifyissues and

: “Increasingly the United States is seen globally as an important leader rather than the uncontested leader.”and “. . . the United States is playing a less dominant role in many areas of S&E activity.”Our future rests with today’s undergraduate engineers, who are initiated to the professionthrough coursework in science, mathematics and engineering fundamentals. In the not toodistant past, the fundamentals included a fair amount of engineering technology. Many oftoday’s four year engineering programs disdain the technical side of engineering, openly criticalthat their curricula are assuredly not a technology program; favoring instead a more extensivefocus on derivation and theoretical work with expected continuity into graduate level

al. describe ProfessionalDevelopment (PD) sessions aimed at providing teachers ways to incorporate engineering and CSconcepts into non-technical courses 13 . When teachers blend technology with traditional subjectssuch as math and language arts, students find creative and novel ways to utilize engineering andcomputer science. Through teacher surveys, Hamner et al. found that PD sessions improvedteacher confidence in implementing robotics and programming projects into theirclassrooms.Cortina and Trahan describe a five-day workshop aimed at providing teachers ways to incorporateCS into their classrooms without having to make major changes to their curricula. For example, amath teacher could use a short computer program to display a geometric

Prior to her academic position, Dr. Milonas worked as a database administrator where she realized that technical expertise is only part of the skill set needed to succeed in a business setting. Her research focuses on the mechanisms used to organize big data in search result pages of major search engines. In addition, she is conducting research related to techniques for incorporating ethics in computer curriculum specifically in data science curriculum. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 How Do We “Raise” Ethically Minded Computer Students?Abstract Intelligent technology

is also a focal point in the process of promoting technicalliteracy.In a society that becomes more and more dependent on technology, the center has made one ofits fundamental goals to provide every student with the ability to understand the social, political,economic, and ethical implications of new technological developments. Since its inception, ithas served as a catalyst for student study groups and a central location for promoting studentscholarships, engineering design competitions, internships, summer undergraduate researchopportunities, and a variety of activities promoting technical literacy on our campus. The Centerhas been host to tutoring sessions for difficult courses, student success seminars, resume writingand job search
