such anintegration of ethics into engineering education.Background and MotivationThe rules of professional practice in engineering until the early 1900’s were conditionedby the fact that engineers looked on themselves as loyal to a firm or a larger entity such asthe military or public works that employed them. Historically, engineering as a field –rather than a “profession” --and then as an academic discipline, originated from theseroots in the late 1740’s with the establishment of the first “civil” (as opposed to“military”) engineering department in France in the École Polytechnique in 1794 [1], [2].The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852 and is the oldestengineering society in the United States.

organizations often tend to amplify the moral and political values that are lacking and need to be further enhanced in developing contexts. They view technologies as instruments for well-being rather than profits.As engineering educators who are interested in preparing future engineers for the increasinglyglobalized future, we need to be careful about what kind(s) of “global engineers” we are training.Emphasizing one or two approaches to engineering ethics over others represents an incompleteapproach that fails to project an appropriately comprehensive view of global engineering practice.Obviously, we are not training every student to become a professional engineer working in amultinational business company, nor do we expect that

Universities are trying to compensate these cuts by increasing fundingfrom private groups willing to “help academia to achieve its goals” being the private sector,claiming an “ad-hoc” education. The loud calls to align industry and businesses with academia seem to be reasonablebased on economic constraints on both sides and the fact that “our students will benefit from it.”Another strong argument in favor of the social benefit of the alignment of business‟s needs, andcollege curriculum is the fact that our worldwide competitiveness will improve

practices in which stakeholder concernschanged actual engineering decisions and practices as exemplary CSR activities, rather thanthose that simply redistributed some of the economics earnings of industry to a broader array ofpeople. In so doing, we drew inspiration of Auld et al.’s distinction between “old” and “new”CSR, in which “old” CSR encompasses philanthropy (such as volunteering and charitabledonations like scholarships) and “new” CSR refers to activities that change core businesspractices to create social, economic, and environmental value for stakeholders as well ascompanies [4]. The question asking students to evaluate CSR practices as being excellent, okay,or not CSR therefore included a range of activities on the old to new scale, from

other words, the experience of relationality and ethical concern are ontologically priorto defining engineering’s role in a given moment. Returning to one of our recent publications [1],I would argue that we first feel and experience what is going on before we can reflectively thinkabout such experience. We feel and experience relationships with all that we encounter in a givenevent, and we are affected by those encounters. Responsibilities, obligations, and valuations arisetherefrom. In being affected by the multiplicity within an encounter, there is significant potentialfor conflict and difficulties associated with assigning/identifying value(s). Once the experienceoccurs, we objectify it, mine it for information, and seek to address it

In his dissertation he used information fromBoston University graduate, Jack S. Boozer’s dissertation without proper citation. Eventhough this came to light in 1991, nearly 35 years following King’s death, it tends toportray one of the greatest American leaders in a bad perspective.
