-EB main activities in the first year of the project have been recruiting members andreviewing current site materials. The LES-EB reviewed a number of existing OEC casematerials; key measures concerning content—including the content “area(s)” portrayed in eachcase and whether the case raised “ethics and society” (macroethical) issues—reinforced the needto develop additional materials. Regarding content areas, the review showed that the existingcollection only has substantial sets of resources for “genetics and genomics” and “biomedicalsciences.” Only these fields had more than 15 resources when reviewers assigned cases tosubfields within the life and environmental sciences using a modified version of the taxonomy oflife science graduate
array of scenarios related to many different engineering fields. Each of themmore directly relates to a certain field and as a result, handled by a higher degree of interest fromthe participants majoring in that particular field. Although the cases are assigned to the groups,the groups have the liberty of choosing their own. Usually, however, they do approach thecoordinator to get his/her blessing for the proposed alternative case(s).The specific requirements set in the universal outline of the assignment are primarily there toprovide guidance for a comprehensive analysis. The outline of this exercise is enclosed in theappendices for your review. Each of the discipline-specific groups meets outside the seminartime to discuss, plan, and address

Thenthe students have a series of questions which ask the students to identify crucial pieces of thereading which would enable them to identify the ethical dilemma(s). For example, they may havebeen asked to discuss the viewpoint of a particular stakeholder or address a specificcounterargument to a character’s position. The questions then tie the reading to ethicalphilosophies and help students evaluate the story’s and character’s outcomes in a structured way.However, these questions assume no prior discussion of formal ethical frameworks, and thusavoid the formal terminology such as utiliatarian, deontology, etc.In this article, we have chosen three short stories which

Are therealternative theoretical bases that better account for the ethical considerations faced by engineersduring

Moreover,the instructor provided detailed assignment questions and requirements that directlytargeted the course objectives covered by the watched videos. This role was reflected Page 23.1193.5slightly by the students’ perceptions to the importance of holding post-video discussion sessions and by their performance on the written assignments. However, the analysis of this role will not be analyzed in depth in this study as it is beyond the main scope. Before responding to the questionnaire

’ awareness and knowledge of ethical issues andtheir understanding of the responsibility of engineers. Through the null and hidden curriculum,socialization can sometimes go unnoticed. However, this process is formative in learning andidentity formation. Situating ESI in socialization can illuminate the formal and informal elementsthat influence students’ enculturation into the profession and the ways in which undergraduateeducation can support ESI as a value and norm of engineering.AcknowledgementsThis material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos.1540348, 1540341, 1540308, and 1755390.

It refers to A multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the requirements (their history, political agendas, desires, forms of knowledge, etc.) is fully understood [19, p. 125].Although students in IFCS did not engage with an actual community, the posing of the tankproblem underscored the value of listening to a community to
United States according to the annual ASEE 2018 By the Numbersreport. We operationalized “students seeing ethics in a course” by looking at whether an electiveor required course mentioned in a program’s graduation requirements had the word ethics (or avariant) in either the course title or course description. We acknowledge two potential flaws interms of false positives and false negatives - just because a course has ethics somewhere in itsdescription or title does not necessarily send a strong signal about how that was translated intothe classroom (i.e., an instance of a false positive in the data). Likewise, a course description ortitle not having ethics in the title does not necessarily translate to students not learning aboutsome aspect(s
