On the other hand, a clear decrease in the cases involvingadvertising can be seen over time, with 22 of the 28 cases (79%) occurring before 1980. Thisphenomenon is likely tied to several changes in the Code of Ethics in the 1970’s involvingadvertising9. The cases containing unfair competition also encountered a significant decreaseover time, 79% of which ensued prior to 1985. In contrast, cases relating to disclosing privateinformation and negligence, of which there were eight for each category, weren’t pertinent untilthe mid-80s.Based on the noted ethical dilemmas and how they are discussed in the Code

While locus of control has been studied extensively since the 1980’s, there is no generalconsensus as to the correlation between the locus of control and ethical decision-making. Studieshave shown no correlation between the two constructs, while others have reported that aninternal locus of control is positively correlated to ethical decision-making [10],[14]. An internallocus of control means that the individual feels they are in control of a given behavior [16].While not indicative of ethical behavior, the perception of being in control when faced with anethical dilemma may positively correlate to ethical decision-making and ethical awareness.

Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the

A common concern which kept surfacing were questionsregarding how to measure the effectiveness of new curricular efforts geared towards ethics. Asnoted by a team at Purdue [4], one of the only reliable scales for measuring ethical reasoningmechanisms was the current version of the Defining Issues Test (DIT2). The team noted that,although the DIT2 was a validated measure for the general population, it may not be sufficient tomeasure engineering-specific aspects of moral judgment [5]. In response to this criticism of theDIT2’s appropriateness within engineering education, they

And if media/technologies are physical extensions of people,it follows that they may also embody other human characteristics, such as ethics and values.Furthermore, the user has only limited choice for using a particular technological artifact, as eachhas a built-in bias. According to social critic Neil Postman, “It has within its physical form apredisposition toward being used in certain ways and not others.”15 Each medium“massages”—and hence changes—the information that flows through it.2 “The medium,”McLuhan famously declared, “is the
