Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Implementing a Campus-Wide RCR Training Requirement for Doctoral StudentsOver the last few years, Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training has been takingon increasing importance in the graduate curriculum. This is primarily due to a change inpolicy that was promulgated by the National Science Foundation and to evolvingguidelines for NIH training grants and fellowships. In 2011, the Georgia Institute ofTechnology (Georgia Tech) implemented an academic policy that requires all newdoctoral students to receive RCR training. It was decided that the institution would move“beyond compliance” in the sense that doctoral students would receive RCR trainingirrespective of their

environment.INTRODUCTIONEthics, social responsibility, and trust are critical issues for the built environment fromproduction and professional identity perspectives. These issues have been recognized byowners, manufacturers, designers and constructors through the creation of the codes ofethics/professional conduct and integration of ethics to the professional degree programcurriculums. The codes of ethics/professional conduct are generally defined and enforcedthrough licensing institutions, professional organizations or within individual companies orfirms. The educational need for ethics and social responsibility is also noted in the highereducation system by the revision of educational curriculums through accrediting agencyrequirements. However, in professional degree

collaborative learning [4].Further, Harris and his co-authors argued that the case study method is the most effectiveapproach to teaching engineering ethics, allowing students to consider such issues as “drawing Page 23.449.2the line” and resolving conflicts that present ethical dilemmas [5]. Finally, Colby and Sullivansuggest that codes of ethics serve well as frameworks for ethics discussions, and argue, in viewof an engineering curriculum that is “full”, that it may be advantageous to integrate ethics-relatedactivities into the discussion of professionalism and the work of engineering professionals intechnical and interpersonal realms.

total class time for the term. The researchers were forced to agree with the professors thatwas an inappropriate use of time in design classes. An interesting point raised by the professorsin this study is the appropriateness of the assessment method depends on the class and its role inthe curriculum. In a course aimed primarily at teaching ethics or professional skills, a significantassessment exercise may be appropriate. However, in embedding ethics instruction in designclasses (as Davis and Feinerman were proposing), a more efficient assessment method is calledfor. Interestingly, there was consensus among the professors that 15 minutes at the beginningand end of the course would be an appropriate amount of time for ethics instruction

Other professions that impose on practitioners a high level ofprofessional responsibility might provide useful answers. Surprisingly, no better professionexists for this purpose than the legal profession. The endless parade of jokes about attorneyshides the fact that the legal profession possesses a refined ethics curriculum and accountabilityprocess.This paper seeks to understand what the legal curriculum suggests to engineering educatorsabout how and what to include in an ethics curriculum.

In this paper, rather thanevaluating writing for writing’s sake, we use it as a tool to understand students’ critical thinkingand ethical literacy with regard to macroethical dilemmas. This perspective is chosen with thepractical objective of understanding what kinds of deficits in critical thinking may be impairingethics instruction and the subsequent development of strong ethical literacy.Ethical Literacy among Engineering Undergraduates: Ethics issues in engineering haveincreasingly drawn attention in

Furthermore, theauthors call for higher levels of faculty engagement with, and support of, diverse learner styles,toward building diversified teams of problem-solvers. The authors push against the traditionalrhetoric of diversity as an end in itself, and advocate for statistically balanced representation inthe student population and attention to diverse learning styles. By examining the ABET EC 2000 Criteria, Smith [5] concludes that the proposed criteria willbe difficult to achieve by certain students unless current engineering curriculums andpedagogical approaches are radically restructured. Smith ([5], p. 2) states, “student learningstyles encompass the spectrum of

The guidelines presented in 2Accreditation Criterion 3 address student learning outcomes towards ethical and professionalresponsibilities, although they do not define a framework or goals to achieve this outcome (ABETpg. 5). Thus, engineering programs have both the opportunity and responsibility to define theirown goals towards establishing their ethics curriculum.

Current options for ethics training arenoticeably limited in these areas.Approaches to Ethics InstructionThere are multiple methods of ethics training currently in use. When determining what should beincluded in ethics training, there are aspects of both the delivery and the content to consider.Delivery methods are often separated based on whether instruction is disseminated as part ofstand-alone ethics course focused on either general or more field specific ethics or if it isdelivered in an ethics-across-the-curriculum method which is essentially an integration of ethicscontent in otherwise technical skills courses. 4

contributing to narrow perceptions of ethicsamong students.22 For example, educational reforms aiming to introduce more social and ethicalrequirements into curricula can be perceived by students as “constraints” and “discreterequirements” rather than integral to both their education and future professional practice.Related research has additionally questioned whether engineering education has measurableimpacts on the ethical capabilities and moral development of engineering students. For instance,Shuman et al. coded student responses to an open-ended ethical dilemma, and found littleevidence of growth in ethical reasoning from the freshman year to senior year, althoughrelatively few of these students had taken formal ethics courses.23 Similarly, Wu et

As with general ethics, honesty and integrity were cited by a number ofinterviewees as important characteristics for an engineer to possess. An example response isgiven by Beverly: “I think honesty is a big one. I think at any field, not just engineering, honesty is the best quality as they say. It's really important, because as engineers you're making all these decisions that impact not just you but thousands and millions of people. You have to make those honest decisions, because they could be the deal breaker or they could be that one thing that makes the bridge collapse or holds it up for a lifetime.”Other specific and general traits that were in
