EthicsIntroductionIt is well accepted by both engineering education practitioners and researchers that developingethical engineers is critical for preparing engineering students to meet the obligations ofprofessional practice upon entering the workforce. Yet despite changing society contexts, and inan era where active changes are being seen in post-secondary engineering students (e.g., Sottileet al., 2021; Sottile, Cruz, & McLain, 2022) engineering ethics education largely looks the sameas it did a generation ago. This paper re-examines the question of engineering ethics educationwith an eye towards evaluating how students and faculty respond to relatively modernengineering ethical situations.Literature ReviewA Case for Case StudiesAs Martin, Conlon, and

students’understanding of ethical dilemmas in aerospace engineering. Macroethics is particularly relevantwithin the aerospace industry as engineers are often asked to grapple with multi-faceted issuessuch as sustainable aviation, space colonization, or the military industrial complex. Macroethicaleducation, the teaching of collective social responsibility within the engineering profession andsocietal decisions about technology, is traditionally left out of undergraduate engineeringcurricula. This lack of macroethics material leaves students underprepared to address the broaderimpacts of their discipline on society. Including macroethical content in the classroom helpsnovice engineers better understand the real implications of their work on humanity

Background Perspective-taking, referred to as the cognitive ability to consider and interpret situations from another’s point of view [1], is a critical skill for fostering collaboration and communication inacademic, professional, and social settings [2]. It enables individuals to interpret the actions andintentions of others, thereby enhancing communication across cultural and interpersonaldifferences [3]. Hess et al.

These correlations point to areas wherestudents may need additional help in design thinking.BACKGROUNDA purpose of engineering design education is to support students’ movement along the path frombeginning toward informed designers. However, the pathways that students progress along thispath are not straightforward. Often, students are introduced to engineering design as first-yearstudents and do not see a design-focused course again until much later in their education,sometimes not until a capstone design experience in their final year. Both first-year and final-yearengineering design courses have been studied in a variety of contexts (e.g. [1

IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10].
