Other common places to teach ethics include first year introductory courses(e.g. Cornell University, Penn State University)26-28 and capstone design (e.g. KetteringUniversity)22,29-30.One might expect that capstone design courses would be an ideal setting for ethics education.Vanasupa’s Four Domain Development Diagram (4DDD)31 proposed that ethical reasoningcould be enhanced as students moved through cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and socialdomains of learning. Capstone design often incorporates all of these learning environmentsthrough hands-on team projects. Further, the 4DDD model proposes that internal
