framework of professional engineering licensure, it is interesting to ask, “Is it ethicalfor university engineering faculty to teach technical subject matter to engineering students withoutobtaining professional licensure?” “Since a professional engineer does have ethical obligations tothe “Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public” [5], should an engineeringeducator be held to those same standards?” “Will faculty with licensure teach better and producemore practice-minded graduates?” These questions are of interest to the Civil Engineeringdepartment at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology where faculty’s engineering practiceexperience and professional licensure is traditionally highly valued. As an engineering discipline,civil

, I'd say that that sense of that - that technical social dualism is reinforced throughout the curriculum, but especially in the – in two large areas of the curriculum in engineering science courses and humanities and social science courses. So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired

choices in engineering work involves implicit or explicit decisions that haveconsequences. Hess et al. [44] point out how, for example, an empathic perspective-taking may have led to a different decision about the launch of the space shuttleChallenger.Incorporating these elements into early engineering education also begins to make topicssuch as risk assessment, decision-making, and environmental life cycle analysis becomean integral part of doing engineering thinking rather than as add-ons or after-thoughts afterthe technical decisions are made. This could begin to change the ethos of engineering inthe mind of the student, and ultimately in the practice of everyday engineering. In the“capstone” type courses such as senior design and other
