ethics as having little to do with real lifeand engineering practice 2. This attitude stems for the greater part from the assumption thattechnology is efficient, predictable, logical, rational, value-free, objective, and a sign of humanprogress. In such situations, teaching engineering ethics through case studies makes studentsreconsider this positivist philosophy of technology, recognize the negative impact of technology,imagine ethical conduct, and then apply these insights to engineering situations. Moreover, whensome cases touch students, they are likely to remember the lessons learned from those cases.One major shortcoming of the case-based method of teaching engineering ethics might be calledthe problem of "professional distance".

Ofcourse, these Program Outcomes are directly tied to the Program Objectives, as shown inAppendix 3.
