Engineering Ethics

knowledge/skills in pursuit ofaddressing a problem/need is a fundamentally ethical act. It is ethics first and engineeringsecond. Ethics is not an afterthought, but neither is engineering. Ethics is found in the richexperiences of relating to ourselves and to others. In this framing, ethics is about living and, inliving, responding with care and an inquiring mind to the exigencies born from relationality.Engineering is one mode of responding to life lived in a world of interaction. Through a livedethics, we (re)fashion ourselves, others, and the world in which we dwell. Given that much of myprofessional focus is directed at education, this leads me to a difficult question: if one desired todo so, how should this be taught to budding engineers

engineering faculty found problem-solving, akin to criticalthinking, to be the single most important competency for engineers [39]. Critical thinking isassociated with many aspects of ABET Student Outcomes. Not only does it address problemsolving and analysis, but the process of argumentation cultivates communication skills that areessential to collaboration. Being self-critical keeps one open-minded to learn and solve problemsboth alone and in groups. Lastly, the process and spirit of inquiry is a necessary driver in self-directed, lifelong learning [19]. Despite its accepted importance, engineering graduatesconsistently fall short in critical thinking skills according to employers [29], [39], [40].According to a 2019 literature review, established

words, “carefully consider,” imply that the engineer is debating in his mind whetherhe wants to consider safety, health, and welfare before he makes a decision. If an engineer holdsthe safety, health, and welfare of the public as paramount then he doesn’t need to “carefullyconsider” this. It is questions like this one that likely cause students with the correct way ofthinking about professional ethics to still mark a test question incorrectly.It also raised the question that students with limited experience working in a professionalenvironment may not have the background to fully understand the different aspects of how ethicsinteracts with day-to-day work activities.It is also suspected that asking instructors to include ethics topics in

She still maintained, for the mostpart, dualistic descriptions of morality and continued to appeal to authority structures as sourcesfor moral answers in design. Similar to her first semester, Brenda’s basic conceptions of ethicswere constrained by professional standards and established codes of practices.

be argued that they tend to emphasize therole of ethics in the life of the individual engineer rather than the ethical implications ofengineering as a profession, as a force that shapes and affects society. Given the role oftechnology in the modern world, it is crucial to bear in mind Herkert’s distinction between“microethics” and “macroethics.” [3] Macroethics, as Herkert defines it, is the study of the ethicsof the profession of engineering, of engineers as a whole. It seems self-evident that we mustinclude the macroethical view in ethics education, but this view is difficult to emphasize incertain pedagogical modalities. Many ethics pedagogies focus on the role of the individualengineer, particularly case studies that analyze issues such

In other words, he posits that affect is interwoven with all human decision-making.Immordino-Yang and Damasio [18] describe this large overlap between emotion and cognitionas “emotional thought” and consider its educational implication. After observations of brain-damaged patients, they concluded knowledge and reasoning detached from emotionalimplications are of little use in the real world. Therefore, we believe engineering ethics educationshould also appreciate importance of emotion.A few studies have acknowledged the importance of incorporating emotional aspects in ethicseducation.

When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists.
