The portrait of China is changing from the Red Queen inAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland who runs unstoppably to catch up the pace of Western countries(Breznitz & Murphree 2011), into an awakening evil giant who is hurting American interestsand democracy by stealing IP and trade secrets. (FBI Press Conference, December 2018).The technological and economic hostility, unfortunately, have permeated into theuniversity engineering education, including the agency’s new background checks and otherrestrictions on Chinese students (Zengerle & Spetalnick 2018).

conveniences and entertainment.While largely positive changes have resulted from the use of technology, engineers should alsocarefully weigh the potential for negative outcomes. The process of reasoning and judgementaround the development and application of technology needs to be cultivated among engineers,and is therefore recognized among the accreditation requirements for engineering degreeprograms [1]. Training students to bolster their ability to recognize their role in ethics andsocietal issues (ESI) is therefore an important concern.Students pursue engineering and computing majors due to a variety of motivations. Market-research conducted by the National Academy of Engineers [2] found that the message ‘engineersmake a world of difference’ was

texts into classes.4.1 Course and MaterialsThe materials for analysis were drawn from a sophomore-level ethics course at a large publicResearch 1 (Carnegie classification) university. This course is required of most engineeringmajors. Ethical reasoning is developed through an introduction to ethical theories andcontemporary ethical issues in engineering, technology and society. Course materials andassignments consider intuitionism, which is a person’s intuitive reaction to ethical issues, threeethical theories – i.e., utilitarianism, respect for persons (Kantian deontology), and virtue ethics –and the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) code of ethics. Through a variety ofactivities and formats, students analyze and respond to
missing invarious codes, is macroethics which considers the “collective, social responsibility of theengineering profession and societal decisions about technology”.7 Issues such as security andpeace, social justice and social responsibility are often viewed as macroethical challenges.In addition, unless ethics education is provided by instructors in the social sciences, mostinstances of ethics instruction to engineering students minimizes the discussion of various ethicaltheories that could be used in the categorization of ethical situations. Though numerous theoriesexist, most ethical concerns can be categorized under the broad umbrellas of utilitarianism,deontology, and virtue. In short, utilitarianism represents a collection of theories where
