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

dimensions including the philosophical, technical, business,professional, environmental, legal, and bioethics [1], [2]. 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
