There is little doubt that the nature of communication ischanging with the emergence and growing influence of social media. Communication is in manyways more immediate, interactive, and more frequent. Because social media are digital andmachine-based, they readily allow for storage and access to archival data from the website,providing opportunities to assess the current mindset of groups and to track changes in thinkingover time.In the internet application described here, we have added interactive technology to anundergraduate engineering ethics course at Texas Tech University.

The process of reasoning and judgementaround the development and application of technology needs to be cultivated among engineers,and is therefore recognized among the accreditation requirements for engineering degreeprograms [1]. Training students to bolster their ability to recognize their role in ethics andsocietal issues (ESI) is therefore an important concern.Students pursue engineering and computing majors due to a variety of motivations.

[1] Revised ABETstandards for accreditation continue to include engineers’ ethical and professionalresponsibilities. [2]However, first year engineering students may not yet have the necessary knowledge orexperience to deal with the often ambiguous or partially known nature of problems involvingethical judgement in an objective manner. One way to build this experience is to introduceengineering ethics in the first year, with case study descriptions and prompts for ethical decisionssupported by available evidence. Our evidence was obtained from related reference materialsalong with students’ interpretations of a
