Methodology This study was designed as a first phase to study the effectiveness of teaching engineeringethics at the University. Later areas of study will build on this study and may include alongitudinal study and expansion to other institutions.Design This study was a non-experimental between-subjects non-equivalent groups design. Thisstudy was designed to compare the moral judgment of engineering students who are justbeginning their studies at the University with those who are completing their studies. The studydesign was approved by the University’s Ethics in Research Committee (EIRC).Hypothesis The University’s teaching of engineering ethics increases students’ engineering moraljudgment as reflected in scores on the Engineering

To act responsibly, they should reflect uponthe wider impacts of their work, consistently supporting the public good” [1]. This statementmakes it clear that a student cannot consider their work in a vacuum, and it also makes clear that astudent must connect their work to the impacts of that work.ABET accreditation guidelines for colleges and universities include a student outcome thatstudents from an ABET accredited undergraduate program will have “an ability to recognizeethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations” [2].

In addition, after reflecting on thesuccesses and failures of a two-day ethics workshop for engineering professors held two yearsearlier, the ethicists became convinced that the case method approach represented the mostpromising avenue for equipping engineering professors to teach ethics across the curriculum,and that subsequent workshops would rely heavily on this approach.
