These characteristics of care and caring made it a natural fit for the working with approach. In addition to discussing what care means and how it has been described in literature, students were asked to arrive at their own individual care statements. In doing so, they were able to apply the concepts of care and caring themselves and arrive at an articulation that enables them to put their care into practice.     In addition to developing individual care statements, the students were requested to ensure that their individual care statements and the

(Riley and Lambrinidou, 2015) in engineering ethics literature, it is still not surprising tosee persistent reliance on presupposed “correct” responses for a given case; an overemphasis onheroic actions and unusual mistakes without contextual considerations; and the overlooking ofthe importance of society and peer culture in the teaching of ethics. In this paper, we argue thataddressing imaginal capacity as a core component in ethics curriculum helps educators movebeyond isolated and product-oriented pictures of engineering ethics instruction and we illustrateways to bridge complexities embedded in how we think and how we relate to one another insociety.Stimulating moral imagination has been recognized as one of the major goals of

However, in this practice, the engineers areexpected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty, integrity, fairness and impartiality inprotecting the public health and safety in delivering professional services. To that end, engineersmust perform their professional duties in compliance with the highest principles of ethicalconduct. The Civil Engineering graduates, through their careers, will be involved in working inteams or managing projects where decision making will often be an inevitable part of theirresponsibilities.

Outcome i, a recognition of and the need for an ability to engage in life-long learning, and Outcome j, a knowledge of contemporary issues, are again, both broad anddifficult to assess. The difficulty in assessing these outcomes motivated ABET to refine the a-kstudent outcomes to seven, which will be adopted in the future.3,4 Much heated discussion isongoing concerning these changes.

Curricula for the newer engineering degree programs aresimilar to other ABET-accredited programs which are constrained in the number of credits that can be allotted toengineering coursework and required general education curriculum. Many engineering programs in the UnitedStates use one of three approaches to ethics instruction: 1) an ethics component built into modules presented in oneor more engineering courses, 2) a required ethics or philosophy course

attitudes also have broad implications inengineering such as design bias [4], algorithmic bias [5, 6], hiring/management bias [7], as wellas other types of workplace bias [8]. These ethically and economically relevant topics to allfields of engineering can be difficult to integrate into courses that are already laden with contentand technical skill development [9]. On the other hand, students find stand-alone ethics trainingless relevant to their field [10]. The most common method for balancing these opposites isintegrating a module into an engineering design course that uses a case study approach. Thetopics covered are canonical (i.e. Space Shuttle Discovery O-rings) and are almost alwaysassociated with ethical behavior in regards to job

As Eyler points out, such opportunities provide students with “‘real world’challenge” [5, p. 41], and through workplace experiences students often come to see “therelevance of the curriculum to life in a complex organization” [5, p. 50]. Eyler (1993) morespecifically found that co-op students learned how to be “an expert on people and organizations”[5, p. 47], including how to be an effective member of their employing organization. It has alsobeen argued that internship or co-op programs are helpful for students’ professional growth [6].Based on their empirical study with business students, Bhattacharya and Neelam reported thatstudents developed greater confidence, negotiation skills, social sensitivity, and cross-culturalunderstanding

In the engineering world of the future, a sound understanding of thetheoretical and practical sides of engineering ethics will be as necessary to the proper educationof engineers as a knowledge of differential equations is today, if not more so”.4Robin Tatu in her article “Knowledge Isn’t Enough” takes the famous quote from the Greekinventor Archimedes “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth” and argues that “thepotential to wield such power is
