ABSTRACT Ethics is and should be intrinsic to engineering. However, many engineering students donot recognize that every engineering decision contains ethical dimensions and that underlyingvalues and current sociopolitical and cultural contexts can influence those

students then become the person making the decisions and cannot duckor skirt around an issue, but must face the problems head on [9]. Figure 1. Opening statement for Scenario B, the biomedical device failure case.Since there are multiple decision points, the students can become more involved and invested intheir outcomes with each decision. Each case becomes more detailed as it plays out, such asincluding the full name of someone who died in each of the original scenarios (Fig. 2). Aspersonalized cases are more effective at developing critical thinking skills and rememberingfactual information [9], this allows the students to make the connection that their decisionsthroughout their careers will affect real people and not faceless

learningopportunities. As Eyler points out, such opportunities provide students with “‘real world’challenge” [5, p. 41], and through workplace experiences students often come to see “therelevance of the curriculum to life in a complex organization” [5, p. 50]. Eyler (1993) morespecifically found that co-op students learned how to be “an expert on people and organizations”[5, p. 47], including how to be an effective member of their employing organization. It has alsobeen argued that internship or co-op programs are helpful for students’ professional growth [6].Based on their empirical study with business students, Bhattacharya and Neelam reported thatstudents developed greater confidence, negotiation skills, social sensitivity, and cross-culturalunderstanding

FoundationsQuestionnaire (MFQ) [1] and a novel instrument focused on the intersection of technology andethics developed by faculty at Duke University. With data collected in Fall 2020, we analyzedstudent survey data and found few significant results. In summary, the suite of developedmodules that are embedded into the first-year engineering design course should lead to thedevelopment of an ethical mindset at the outset of students’ engineering education.Overview of Ethics Education in EngineeringDespite a consensus that ethics is an important topic for engineering students, its incorporationinto undergraduate courses remains mixed [2] [3] [4]. Currently, the ABET Student Outcome #4in Criterion 3 requires that graduates have “an ability to recognize ethical and
