Why is this a problem that merits significantstudy? Engineering has been assaulted from all sides by the demands of industry, academicrewiring and strife, professional requirements, and all along has had the requirement ofproducing students!(10-14) The formation of myriad of professional societies in recent years,coupled with new projects such as the Engineer of 2020 and the EC2000 have left many in thefield unsure if the knowledge required to be an engineer can even be properly taught andevaluated.(15-17) Surely, any ideology that furthers our understanding of the

Therefore, an alternative mode of integration, ethics across the curriculum (EAC), is beingadopted at several US universities, (e.g., University of Texas at Austin [19], The University ofMichigan [20] and Illinois Institute of Technology [21]). In the EAC approach, ethics is introduced to students in various technical courses duringfour-year undergraduate studies. During the second and third years, ethics are being discussed inconnection with the subject matter of technical course, and ethics discussion continues into acapstone design project in the senior year by considering the societal implications of a designproject[14], [22].

Professional codes of ethics and ABET requirements are sometimes applied, withsustainability introduced as a design constraint.3 In our experience, these professionalrequirements are often treated only in senior design projects, and then only as items on achecklist. Optional minor and certificate programs may exist for those engineering students whoare interested, but even here crucial tensions often go unexplored between definitions ofsustainability (between weak and strong sustainability4, 5, between “technological sustainability”and “ecological sustainability”6, between “eco-efficiency” and “eco-effectiveness”7, or betweensustainability and sustainable development8, 9, 10, 11) and even between areas of the triple bottomline.3 Missing, too, are

considerations. Through his discussion of Lund’s case,Davis argues that an engineer can object to work that would violate the code as anengineer rather than simply as an individual. If one objected to a project without theability to appeal to anything beyond one’s moral conscience, one might easily beconstrued as a moral crusader and may very well be fired and replaced by an engineergreater degree of moral malleability. By invoking one’s code, however, it immediatelybecomes apparent that other engineers are likely to similarly object. In this way, beingable to appeal to one’s profession as grounds for one’s objection carries with it additionalweight. It is less likely that another more opportunistic engineer will take one’s place,and provides something
