Understanding of theory may be assessed through graded writing assignments suchas formal essays or less formal entries online (wikis, tweets, or blogs). Next, students areencouraged to experiment with game calculators to become familiar with how the game worksand to determine possible game strategies. Before playing with the entire group, students musthypothesize what will happen during game-play, and predict the level of cooperation they expectfrom their peers. This serves as an assessment tool for experimentation, as they apply theoreticalsolutions to their

Each group was givena particular case from NSPE and asked to write and present an opinion as if they were anNSPE Board of Ethical Review (BER): summarizing the case, identifying the ethicalquestions and appropriate ethical canons, researching similar cases, and citing how otherBERs ruled and determining whether the engineers involved in the case acted in anethical manner. If the team could not come to a unanimous decision, they would have towrite both a majority and minority opinion. Unlike the previous assignment prior to theSpring 2005 semester, students were required to vigorously discuss and defend theiropinions on the cases.Changing the ethics assignment

Preparing computing professionals who not only possess knowledge and skills but alsocan make ethical decisions is important. The aim of this research is to investigate how computingmajors reason when it comes to ethical decision-making in a collaborative setting. The data inthis grounded theory research consists of postings of 33 undergraduate computing majors (26males and 7 females) in online discussion forums in response to three ethical scenarios and thecomments they provided on their peers’ responses, along with the follow up interviews. Findingssuggest that students’ decisions are highly influenced by the specifics of situation, the nature ofthe moral issue, and whether they can connect the situation to a real-world story.

A search in ASEE PEER for manuscripts with“reflection” in the title yielded 195 results, including 102 from papers at the annual conference in2015-2019 [10]. However, it is unclear to what extent reflection is standard practice inengineering education versus being explored as “novel”. The value of reflection has beenparticularly linked with service-learning, as a critical step in achieving particular learning goalsand/or helping the learner

But rather thanphilosophers as collaborators, philosophers’ place of necessity is in its historically traditionalrole of trespassers or gadflies to the practical and professional processes of others.Of course, we might intuit that only the most stringent purists would hold onto one or another ofthese hypothetical polar positions. It is more likely that most engineers and most philosophersconsider their roles within engineering ethics as collaborative, integrative, and constructive:space for working together on complex epistemic and ethical problems.
