) in engineering and science hasbecome much discussed topic in the industry and also in the academia (Detroit Free Press, 2016;Burke, 2016). While the state licensure bodies monitor the professional conduct of the engineers,professional engineering bodies like National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) andAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) insist and expect their members to have goodmoral character and ethical integrity (NSPE, 2016; ASCE, 2012).However, the ethical contact and the professionalism of an engineer do not start with theengineer’s first assignment as a graduate engineer, but with what this individual learns inclassrooms as an engineering student and how s|he gets trained as an engineering intern.

We turn to this topic of assessment next.In terms of assessing how students perceive ethical and moral situations, one of the mostwidely-used instruments for measuring students’ ethical or moral reasoning is the DefiningIssues Test 2 (DIT-2),​26,27​ that was developed in the 1970’s and takes as its basis Kohlberg’sMoral Development Theory.​28​ The DIT-2 is administered by evaluating participant

“extension[s] of man”: the hammer is an extension of the hand, eyeglasses anextension of the eyes, the wheel an extension of the foot.14 Thus media are not separate from theircreators but intimately intertwined. And if media/technologies are physical extensions of people,it follows that they may also embody other human characteristics, such as ethics and values.Furthermore, the user has only limited choice for using a particular technological artifact, as eachhas a built-in bias. According to social critic Neil Postman, “It has within its physical form apredisposition toward being used in certain ways and not others.”15 Each medium“massages”—and hence changes—the information that flows through it.2 “The medium,”McLuhan famously declared, “is the

In the triple bottom line approach, quantifyingsuch attributes becomes increasingly difficult as has been discussed since the introduction of thesocial and environmental components in the 1970’s. The difficulty in creating a commonmeasurement of quantity for comparing and creating a single CBA rests in the question of

organizations often tend to amplify the moral and political values that are lacking and need to be further enhanced in developing contexts. They view technologies as instruments for well-being rather than profits.As engineering educators who are interested in preparing future engineers for the increasinglyglobalized future, we need to be careful about what kind(s) of “global engineers” we are training.Emphasizing one or two approaches to engineering ethics over others represents an incompleteapproach that fails to project an appropriately comprehensive view of global engineering practice.Obviously, we are not training every student to become a professional engineer working in amultinational business company, nor do we expect that
