Thestudents were perhaps uncomfortable with uncertainty and the lack of clear, correct answers; oruncomfortable sharing their personal opinions when they were uncertain if their peers agreed ordisagreed. Some students voiced open skepticism, wondering why we were even looking at amap of residency disaggregated by race and in reference to sea level in New Orleans.In-class Discussion: Social JusticeA full class

They become actively involved in the process to determine the best overall solution tochallenging problems. Mathematics and science alone cannot solve these types of problems, itrequires judgment and only through experience can this be acquired. Case studies fit into thisscenario perfectly.Students require a better understanding of the principles and practices that serve as a foundationfor all ethical decision making. Once these are firmly entrenched in the students' mind, theybecome the basis for all solutions to ethical dilemmas

Instead of an office building, the structure would become a massiveupscale shopping mall, offering customers a variety of goods ranging from groceries to expensivedesigner clothing. The new vision included the addition of a fifth floor roller-skating rink.36Woosung engineers expressed doubt about the changes and refused to comply. Rather thanchange his vision, Lee simply fired the engineers and used his own firm, SampoongConstruction, to complete the building to his satisfaction.

She still maintained, for the mostpart, dualistic descriptions of morality and continued to appeal to authority structures as sourcesfor moral answers in design. Similar to her first semester, Brenda’s basic conceptions of ethicswere constrained by professional standards and established codes of practices. I: When you hear the word ethics, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? R: Um, I think of professional ethics [pause] in engineering, like different codes of practice.

Indeed,in terms of cross-cultural ideological patterns [19], east-west differences in foundation [20], andgender differences [21], the moral foundations questionnaire (and the moral foundations theoryon which it was built), was shown to have practical application.The described purpose of the original publicly-available moral foundations questionnaire was to“understand the way our ‘moral minds’ work” answering questions like “why do people disagreeso passionately about what is right?” and “why, in particular, is there such hostility andincomprehension between members of different political parties?” [22]. Its application in thecontext of engineering disciplines can play, we think, a role in answering very similar questions.While

ethics, engineers can object to or abstain from a project on moral grounds.If objecting to a project by appeal to one’s professional code is to carry weight, the codemust play a justificatory role in the objection (i.e., it must appeal to one or more of theaxioms listed in the code that the engineer would violate by participating), otherwise theobjection is based on mere private conscience. For instance, in Thiokol’s case, had Lundrefused to change his mind and keep the astronauts’ welfare as his top consideration, hewould have implicitly appealed to Canon I of the ABET code. What sort of a general guide is this, and, more importantly, how does it relate toengineers’ moral choices? An engineer that adheres to her code has good reason to do

Given the role oftechnology in the modern world, it is crucial to bear in mind Herkert’s distinction between“microethics” and “macroethics.” [3] Macroethics, as Herkert defines it, is the study of the ethicsof the profession of engineering, of engineers as a whole. It seems self-evident that we mustinclude the macroethical view in ethics education, but this view is difficult to emphasize incertain pedagogical modalities. Many ethics pedagogies focus on the role of the individualengineer, particularly case studies that analyze issues such

In other words, he posits that affect is interwoven with all human decision-making.Immordino-Yang and Damasio [18] describe this large overlap between emotion and cognitionas “emotional thought” and consider its educational implication. After observations of brain-damaged patients, they concluded knowledge and reasoning detached from emotionalimplications are of little use in the real world. Therefore, we believe engineering ethics educationshould also appreciate importance of emotion.A few studies have acknowledged the importance of incorporating emotional aspects in ethicseducation.
