the issue whilemeeting the original design specifications.Beatrice additionally observed variations in professional judgment among the engineers she hadworked with on various projects. As she explained in considerable detail: So each one [professional engineer] is a different person, and they have their own personal preferences of, “This should be engineered this way, I would like you to do it this way.” It’s their license, so we do it their way. But if you were to talk to the other professional engineer, just in the other office, they might have a different opinion on it. So, it’s like, “Which one’s the right one?” Knowing what’s best is hard, especially in an area that can have so many variables. Because

implications of their future work is an extremely important topic. There are many pitfallswith the traditional large lecture format in which ethics is taught to engineering freshmen. It istaught as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act of personal decision making situatedin the nuances of complex real-world contexts [1]. Often, engineering ethics instruction is taughtby a philosophy professor rather than an engineer. It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module)within a larger array of engineering content. As a result, students often do not see ethics as equallyimportant as other topics. They do not see it consistently integrated
