technologyAbstractUnderstanding the social, environmental, economic, and political impact of engineering is animportant aspect of being a professional engineer. Responding to this need, engineeringprograms increasingly offer engineering ethics education. However, courses in engineeringethics as well as research on students’ developing sense of engineering ethics often emphasizethe micro-ethics of research, mentoring, and publications. In comparison, research is limited onhow future engineers understand the social, ethical, environmental, economic, and politicalimpact of their scientific and technological contributions. In this manuscript, we present 2 case-study accounts of how future engineers think about an engineer’s responsibility towards thesocial and global impact
, ethical business practices in which engineersengage, and broader aspects of the influence of engineering and technology on society. Ethicseducation should therefore encompass both microethical issues and macroethical issues.Microethics has been defined as “ethical decision making by individual engineers and theinternal relationships of the engineering profession” while macroethics has been defined as “theprofession’s collective social responsibility and the role of engineering in societal decisionsabout technology.”1, pg. 68 The various professional codes of engineering ethics are focused onmicroethical issues, including designing for public safety, whistle-blowing, conflict of interest,and integrity of data. Macroethics moves into a broader

We conclude with a discussion motivating social justice as a value that allengineers can adopt, and consider how social justice might be practically operationalized inengineering ethics.To What Does the Profession of Engineering Aspire?Examinations of the social good to which the engineering profession aspires have given rise tonumerous compelling critiques. Scholars from different disciplines including engineering,philosophy and ethics, and science and technology studies have approached the issue fromdiverse angles, but in the end they tend to home in on the same general question: if the socialgood to which

. As with other disciplines, engineering typically subsumesethics, appropriating it as its own unique subfield. As a framing, ethics in engineering producesspecialized standards, codes, values, perspectives, and problems distinct to engineering thoughtand practice. These form an engineering education discourse with which engineers engage. It isepistemological in its focus, meaning that this framing constructs knowledge of properdisciplinary conduct. On the other hand, engineering in ethics as a framing device insists thatengineering become a specialized articulation of ethical thought and action. Here, “engineer” and“engineering” are not nouns but verbs, referring to particular processes and technologies fortransformation. One is not an
