, Teacher A developed curriculum materialsfocused on career pathways related to the field of neurotechnologies. For one of his lesson plans,Teacher A developed career biographies of CNT faculty, students, and staff across differentdisciplines represented in neurotechnology. Two of these biographies featured neuroethicsfaculty members and one featured a postdoctoral researcher from the neuroethics research group.The strategies described in this section demonstrate how teachers participating in the RETprogram had access to multiple professional learning opportunities centered on neuroethics. Inaddition, teachers designed curriculum materials that embedded neuroethics topics andpedagogical strategies for ethics education in the science classroom
threat; [8]), and lowering their aspirations for careers in STEM fields [9], [10].Even more troubling is that academically qualified high school girls rarely choose STEM-relatedmajors in college. Further, women who choose STEM majors are almost twice as likely as mento leave that major due to an unwelcoming culture or lack of engaging introductory courses [11].While it appears that some sex- and racially-based barriers have been removed as students movefrom secondary school through the university, the shortage of women and minorities in STEMcareers remains relatively intractable.There is a growing body of evidence that hidden biases in the workplace contribute to theleakage of women and minorities from STEM-related industries [2].

engineering careers and tasks. As demonstrated by a series ofstandardized and teacher-made tests, students are credentialed by degree conferral that they canbegin a career as an engineer with the requisite information represented and stored in theirmemories. This approach rests on several key assumptions. ● Abstract knowledge is best, as it can apply to many concrete situations. ● Knowledge is represented and stored in memory and retrieved later on the job as needed. ● There is 1 instructional process, curricular sequence, that will work for all students. ● There are capital “T” Truths that can be objectively known and tested. ● Teaching is a matter of telling students the Truths and ensuring they can accurately recite and reproduce

Dr. Johri studies the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for learning and knowledge sharing, with a focus on cognition in informal environments. He also examine the role of ICT in supporting distributed work among globally dispersed workers and in furthering social development in emerging economies. He received the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Early Career Award in 2009. He is co-editor of the Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research (CHEER) published by Cambridge University Press, New York, NY. Dr. Johri earned his Ph.D. in Learning Sciences and Technology Design at Stanford University and a B.Eng. in Mechanical
threeyears and had been reporting to the FDA but did not alert physicians. Guidant was aware of 25other cases in which the defibrillator was affected by the same flaw. This issue caused the FDAto subsequently review and change their medical device filing process.Objective 2: The scenario should be written and completed in a way that engages students.Each case was written in the viewpoint of a gender-neutral early career engineer. While the casesare based on technical flaws, the scenarios are written with enough background that first yearcollege students will be able to understand the basis for each decision. Students were able to readthe decision points and easily imagine themselves in the scenario (see Fig. 1 for a sampleopening statement). The

their career in industry. The second sectionfocused on grasping a general understanding of either ethical reasoning or global awareness,depending courses that the faculty member taught the prior academic year. Section three askedquestions associated with the barriers and challenges associated with teaching a Pathways Course.Section four asked was designed for non-Pathways faculty and sked about their knowledge of thePathways program. The fifth section asked about the faculty member to reflect on the Pathwayscourse they had taught or briefly talk about any future plans for the course. The last question askedhow ethical/global awareness factored into their teaching more generally. 5. Results and Discussion 5.1.Incentives When

unrecognized. The number of responses is small, and individuals who elected torespond to the survey may be those who placed greater value on ethics and/or had a greaterconnection to the instructor that emailed the survey invitation. Further, the survey instrumentwas not fully validated using rigorous methods [39, 44]. The majority of the survey respondentshad not worked very long as engineers after graduation. Those interviewed represented a broadrange of different career lengths post-graduation. Not all engineering disciplines and types ofengineering work are represented among the results.Results and DiscussionRQ1. Extent of impactThe survey results are summarized in Table 2. For all nine activity options listed on the survey,one or more individuals
characterizes this as an approach “intended todevelop ethical behavior over the course of an entire scientific or engineering career” [1]. Toachieve this objective, however, engineering ethics must more fully engage with the field ofempirical moral psychology.This paper is divided as follows: The first part outlines reasons for adopting ethical behaviors asthe ultimate goal of ethics education, that behaviors are what both professional organizations andthe public ultimately care about, moving on to consider why the adoption of ethical behaviors asan educational outcome would be contentious, that accurately assessing the effects of educationon ethical behaviors is difficult if not impossible. The second part of this paper considersresponses to these

strongly that attention toengineering ethics should be incorporated at the outset of a student’s academic career. Inaddition, many of the instructors in the first-year design course noted regular discussions withstudents about tradeoffs and ethical dilemmas embedded in their project. Thus, the goal of theScaffolding Ethics project was to more systematically incorporate ethical considerations into thefirst-year engineering design course.During the academic year 2019-2020, we established a research and design team within DukeUniversity’s Bass Connection program. The Scaffolding Ethics team, composed of threeundergraduates and three professors from the Pratt School of Engineering and the KenanInstitute for Ethics, met each week to determine and
