Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Peace, Conflict, and Sustainability: Addressing Global and Ethical Issues in Engineering EducationEngineers play central design and policy roles globally in infrastructure and construction projects-- in transportation, power generation, irrigation, mining and other sectors. Particularly indeveloping countries, this may thrust them into violent conflict situations arising fromgeopolitical disputes, rival claims over resources, unequal distribution of benefits and costs, orpower struggles. Conflicts among communities, peoples, and nations can arise from manycauses. Engineering programs and projects may themselves be among the problems at issue.Where efforts to bring about peaceful

Of the seniors whocompleted the survey, 37% indicated that no courses had influenced these views. Of those whowere influenced, the most common courses were engineering courses (44%) and humanitiescourses (44%). Doing design work (11%), projects (9%) and service learning (8%) were

In order to imagine visionary alternative societies, studentsemployed ethical principles, invoked themes and ideas from literature, and utilized new and evenspeculative technologies.

Engineers can be important mediators or gatekeepers for the input of diversestakeholders on the technology development (e.g. machine learning bias). Therefore, our workingvision for engineering ethics education is two-fold: (1) to empower students as moral agents whoeffectively negotiate for social and ethical responsibility in the technology

Emerging teammember relationships and experiences play a significant role in shaping how individualsconceptualize ethics and everyday ethical issues that arise. Contextual influences are especiallyimportant for how individuals conceptualize ethics and design1. For instance, does the context ofa particular design phase and proximity to the user (i.e., Needs Assessment vs. Detailed Design)shape individuals’ understanding of ethics in design?

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

Emerging technologies in biomedical research do not always represent new technologicaladvances.

The engineering capstone in our program is typical of other institutions in that it requires alarge time commitment from the students. They have projects to complete, numerous reports towrite, and presentations to prepare.
