. This training is of substantial benefitfor many problems, often resulting in a straightforward solution. Nevertheless, this preparationalone may not be enough to resolve all issues. Frequently the problems encountered are in a grayarea, without clear-cut answers, requiring engineers to use their best judgment for solution.These types of problems are commonly referred to as ethical challenges. Unfortunately problemsof this nature are often handled with little formal training or guidance leading to improper ordetrimental results. In order to better prepare our students to practice engineering with integrityand honesty a case study approach to engineering ethics has been implemented. It begins with areflective look at the type of decisions

and students designing to learn. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Ethical Reasoning in First-Year Engineering DesignAbstractPurpose. Ethics is too-often relegated to a stand-alone course taken late in engineeringprograms, rather than effectively integrated into core coursework [1, 2]. Faculty sometimes haveconcerns that such integration will be challenging for students to manage or might distract themfrom core content. However, ethics-across-the-curriculum helps students understand the linkbetween the engineering work and its positive and negative impacts and also see ethicalconsiderations as part of engineering, rather than an add-on [2, 3]. In this study, therefore

While a microethics case studyapproach is common in the classroom, some researchers have called for greater emphasis on amacroethics approach, which emphasizes broader ethical questions about technology in societyrather than questions about individual professional responsibility.
