Engineering Education, 2025 Student Paper Work in Progress: Creation of a Macroethics Case Study Integrated into an Aerospace Systems Design Course Sabrina Olson, Dr. Oliver Jia-Richards, Dr. Aaron W. JohnsonAbstractEthics and social responsibility education within aerospace engineering remains limited, witheducation on the subject often disconnected from technical course content and led by guestlecturers. While still valuable, this approach inadvertently signals to students that such topics arean addendum to their work as engineers, and reinforces the misconception of engineering as anapolitical field. Furthermore, existing ethical discussions place focus on

social andhistorical context [8], and narratives can help learners form complex connections betweentechnical and non-technical content. For example: Halada and Khost [9] used narrative shortstories and case studies to encourage student reflection on the interactions between engineering,technology and society. Finally, narratives put humans at the center of the story, instead oftechnical content. Stolk and Martello [10] showed that integrating a human-centered approachinto their course project increased student motivation and encouraged higher use of criticalthinking. All of this supports ABET student outcome #4: “an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which

the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

However, when treated qualitatively, theresponses offer meaningful insights. All three students from marginalized backgrounds reportedthat laboratory activities were highly beneficial to their learning, while traditional lectures andclass discussions were less helpful. This indicates a possible compensatory effect, where the labsprovided an essential learning support for these students

online program is thecurriculum that must maintain the required academic rigor while address the unique challengesfacing both instructors and students in this new learning environment. These challenges includedeveloping “time management skills, being technologically prepared and computer literate,possessing good work ethics, being effective communicators and goal-oriented learners, ensuringacademic readiness, and fostering personal commitment, independence, andresponsibility” [13].Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide is one of the leading online universities in thecountry and had been ranked consistently either No. 1 or No. 2 among all institutions, private orpublic, in the annual U.

. Nobel economist Herb Simon characterized engineering as problem solving, asattempting to move from a current state of affairs to a more desirable future state of affairs. The 9expression ‘more desirable’ is the value component. The issue isn’t about engineering ethics. It’sabout the value of engineering practice. In discussing this issue with an engineering professorcolleague we agreed that engineering was concerned with problem solving. We also agreed thatthe practicing engineer doesn’t really know what the problem is. My colleague told me that heteaches his students that they are ‘opportunity actualizes
