teaching students about ethics, in that theymust be familiar and comfortable around each other. Separate from teachers being uncomfortableregarding ethics, students must be able to trust each other to where they can openly addressethical issues in a group environment. This obstacle is a challenge as Olivia describes how thiscan be addressed by promoting student interaction in advance of an ethical discussion.Lack of Content: Implementing EESI may be obstructed due to a lack of material a teacher caneasily utilize. An example of this obstacle was described by Jeff, who is an engineering teacher: I think that maybe the barrier would be having, at least for me, good material to use… I just make my own lesson plans... And I think that if I had

We are at once removed frommembership in the natural world as there is a listing of responsibilities of the engineeringprofession to humankind and if it exists at all a sense of responsibility to the naturalworld only in so far as it can provide something for us. We are not products of the earthbut somehow placed on it with a focused plan of action set in place to tame it, control it,and to transform it into what suits are interests.Philosophical Origins of Present Day CodesModern engineering in many respects begin with the Renaissance period in

Anotherreason to explicitly attend to these dimension, even while being unsure of our own footing onthese arguments, is that we feel not doing so would contribute to silencing (and hence,marginalizing) how gender, race, and public discourse play a role in the phenomenon we study ineducation research. In future work, we plan to collect demographic data which might help usrefine our claims. As initial explorations, the arguments presented in the paper are bound to haveinconsistencies and incompleteness. Acknowledging that, we humbly hope to pursue moredetailed analysis in future work.AcknowledgmentsWe thank the participants who

At the conclusion of the exercise the students are given a debriefing by the red team inwhich the methods used to find security holes, which vulnerabilities were most useful for theattacks, and how to best prevent similar problems in the future are discussed. This allows thestudents to learn which of their security measures were effective and which were not, and alsowhich of the measures made it difficult for the users of the green team to perform their taskssince that would have a real impact on the setup’s feasibility in the real world.Another
