It contends that listening canfacilitate transformational engagement between engineers and the public by a)challenging stereotypes on both sides, b) foregrounding the technical and ethicalrelevance of diverse knowledges, c) exposing relationships of structural inequality thatprivilege technical expertise, and d) replacing such relationships with partnerships oftrust that generate meaningful and effective solutions.Transformational listening lies at the heart of a graduate engineering ethics course atVirginia Tech and future online teaching modules, funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF).

As early as 1989 it was recognised that approaches which were more appealing towomen encouraged interaction, cooperation and trust, connected, holistic thought, joined feelingand thinking, and had an increased focus on social responsibility11.Social responsibility (often “corporate” social responsibility or CSR) is a term frequently used inthe current economic

Etter and colleagues proposed using the moral obligation andresponsibility that engineers have for the “health, safety, and welfare” of society as a way toencourage ethical reasoning and promote academic integrity in engineering students. Suggestedmethods for institutions include case-based learning, cooperative learning groups, and service-based learning.13 McCabe and Pavela suggested that faculty encourage honesty in their

The questionsposed to the student groups center around primary morality concepts such as integrity, conflictingobligations, and the contextual nature of ethical decision making. Please see [10] for the EERIquestions used (Nurse Schedule Software, Water Quality Testing) and [15] for details of the ToxicWorkplaces game.

Further, engineering students’ perceived importance of thesocial impacts of engineering (such as “professional/ethical responsibilities” and the“consequences of technology”) were found to decrease from the first to fourth years indicating a“culture of disengagement” in engineering education36.The overall goals of the research are to explore the SR development of engineering studentsthrough college, using qualitative methods.

The incentives to focus on student development, andfaculty promotion structures of institutions focused on undergraduate education allows high levelsof time investment by, and coordination among the faculty to materialize education reform andinstitute continuous improvement.

every engineering graduate will work foran international development or other NGO.Instead, we propose that educators should strive to prepare students for a wide variety ofpersonal and professional pathways, yet with the goal of enabling them to become truly globalengineers capable of navigating ethical issues in diverse job roles and national/cultural contexts.Thus, engineering educators from the four different approaches to engineering ethics in theglobal context need more communication, collaboration, and coordination among themselves, ashow to educate a globally professional and responsible engineer is a very real and daunting issuethat has received much less attention than other topics in the field of engineering education.References 1
