other words, the experience of relationality and ethical concern are ontologically priorto defining engineering’s role in a given moment. Returning to one of our recent publications [1],I would argue that we first feel and experience what is going on before we can reflectively thinkabout such experience. We feel and experience relationships with all that we encounter in a givenevent, and we are affected by those encounters. Responsibilities, obligations, and valuations arisetherefrom. In being affected by the multiplicity within an encounter, there is significant potentialfor conflict and difficulties associated with assigning/identifying value(s). Once the experienceoccurs, we objectify it, mine it for information, and seek to address it

His research primar- ily concerns multi-scale geomaterial behavior under coupled processes across various time scales, with emphasis placed on microstructure characterization, constitutive model formulation, and computational geomechanics, for applications in geological storage and energy geotechnics. Prior to joining the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rowan, he worked in the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. At Rowan, he teaches courses in geotechnical engineering and ge- omechanics. He is a recipient of James S. Lai Outstanding Graduate Award from the geosystems group at Georgia Tech

Thenthe students have a series of questions which ask the students to identify crucial pieces of thereading which would enable them to identify the ethical dilemma(s). For example, they may havebeen asked to discuss the viewpoint of a particular stakeholder or address a specificcounterargument to a character’s position. The questions then tie the reading to ethicalphilosophies and help students evaluate the story’s and character’s outcomes in a structured way.However, these questions assume no prior discussion of formal ethical frameworks, and thusavoid the formal terminology such as utiliatarian, deontology, etc.In this article, we have chosen three short stories which

(3) Outcome of the incident: A clear change, refinement, or crystallization in one’s view of ethics in engineering, especially pertaining to a participant’s way of experiencing ethics in engineering.Kim reviewed the selected 25 interviews and extracted potential critical incidents. Incidentsvaried in length from one to several paragraphs. In most cases a critical incident was extractedwholly from one part of the interview, but in some instances, passages later in the interview werepaired with earlier interview text to complete an incident and to capture the entirety of the abovecriteria. After this initial step, 93 potential incidents were obtained

United States according to the annual ASEE 2018 By the Numbersreport. We operationalized “students seeing ethics in a course” by looking at whether an electiveor required course mentioned in a program’s graduation requirements had the word ethics (or avariant) in either the course title or course description. We acknowledge two potential flaws interms of false positives and false negatives - just because a course has ethics somewhere in itsdescription or title does not necessarily send a strong signal about how that was translated intothe classroom (i.e., an instance of a false positive in the data). Likewise, a course description ortitle not having ethics in the title does not necessarily translate to students not learning aboutsome aspect(s

the importance of imaginal capacity in the understanding and transformation ofreality (Anzaldúa, 2015; Freire, 2005; Marcuse, 1969; Scarry, 1985). Similar to the qualityillustrated by Royce, imagination here is not a tool for creativity or fantasizing a situation orindividual(s). The reason we build on liberatory perspectives as complementary to whatdiscussed by Royce and Buber is that these frameworks urge attention to broad social andpolitical structures that may influence our ethical reasoning and decision-making, in explicit orimplicit manners. Such factors may play a significant role at the institutional level when we thinkabout the culture of engineering practice and its conventional norms and structures and in generalthe role each

context ofan integrated, project-based learning program for upper-division students. Using a commonscience fiction read as a case study for learning ethics in an engineering context has strongpedagogical value. The exercise is both morally sound and engaging. The student engineersparticipating in the experience effectively extracted, discussed, and reflected on ethical themesfrom the reading. Most importantly, they connected their ethical learning in this context to realworld applications.References[1] A.

From their analysis and in-class feedback, students finalize their ethical assessmentand how it has affected their projects in their final project report to the faculty member(s)teaching the course and their clients.Students are also
