In short, it dramatically changed society and our values; itchanged who we are.CasesWhile theories about technology are interesting and intellectually stimulating, engineering andtechnology students tend to be more practically minded and seem to resonate better toapplications of abstraction, specifically in the form of cases.

Covering this content through traditional lecturing and text-based readingassignments often fails to fully motivate this generation of tech-savvy students to learn to theirfull potential. Improvements to course design and content delivery can improve studentengagement [5-9]. These strategies include developing interactive course activities [6],incorporating multimedia resources [7-9], and integrating practical experiences into the deliveryof the course content [9]. Specifically, recent papers have suggested incorporating a multi-modalapproach to teach ethics using popular media [10].Bearing this in mind, a short ethics module was

Another difficulty was helpingpeople clearly articulate their thoughts. Facilitating these discussions while staying politicallyneutral and also authentic can be challenging. It is important to maintain an open mind andembrace the learning experience with the rest of the participants. Recommendations for how toimplement classroom discussion for long or short works of fiction can be found in [29].ConclusionsThis paper presents a case for using fiction in ethics education, with supporting literature frommultiple fields.

model, I have had students who have been apart of one of my module lectures, end up in one of my full-length ethics courses as a result. Over the course of the successive projects, my (second author) perspective on ethicseducation has changed dramatically. As an engineering professor, I still believe it is critical thatthe students be exposed to ethical situations in the context of solving engineering problems sothat they understand that even everyday decisions require ethical choices. However, I nowrecognize the need for a deeper understanding of the variety of ethical theories. It is not enoughfor students to read a case study, discuss their personal views on the matter, then debate withpeers to see if they can change each other’s minds

It is not only important for anengineer to keep in mind safety as well as risk in the design of a product but also if it can be misused by anyone. Ifan engineer can possibly avoid any possible dangers by thinking ahead to any way the product could be misused,then this could save lives.

, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across
