Microsoft Teams interviewswith four engineering educators who have engaged with the Ethics Toolkit. Through aparticipant information and consent form, interviewees agreed to answer a series of questionsthat examined their motivations for contributing or using the toolkit resources. The interviewswere up to 60 minutes long and data collected were anonymised for the impact study.Results and AnalysisMetadataThe most popular ethics case study visited was a case study on implementing facialrecognition technology, with 2276 views and 905 unique visitors recorded during November2022 (Table 1). This was followed by a case study featuring the use of solar panels to providegreen energy for oil extraction, with 205 views and 126 unique users in November 2023

Comparative Analysis of Engineering Ethics TextbooksABSTRACT - Engineers play a critical role in bettering humanity via technological andscientific innovations. This ethical responsibility to the practice of engineering is the reason thatengineering ethics is required of all accredited engineering programs at all levels of education,and engineering ethics is required of all facets of professional licensure in engineering. Educatorsat all levels leverage textbooks to teach engineering ethics. In this paper, we conduct asystematic, comparative review of twenty-six of the most widely used engineering ethicstextbooks. This comparative analysis has enabled us to identify over forty thematic topics thatare collectively covered across these twenty

mostsignificant challenges, ranging from saving lives to advancing technology to enhance the qualityof life. Ethics is a crucial subject in any engineering program because today’s students are theleaders and innovators of tomorrow who will be expected to behave in an ethical manner.Understanding the code of ethics established by the National Society of Professional Engineers(NSPE) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is essential because thisunderstanding helps engineers demonstrate professional behavior that adheres to the highestprinciples of ethical conduct [1, 2]. However, teaching engineering students to develop ethicaldecision-making skills presents a challenge and requires innovative teaching methods.Several challenges

andcorporate executives with backgrounds in engineering, in propagating the growth of corporatecapitalism and shaping the positions of engineers within corporations. Noble describes howengineers leveraged their societal relationship to technological development and production by“informing their work with the historical imperatives of corporate growth, stability, and control… the engineers, moreover, went a step further to ensure that their technical work meshed withthe imperatives of corporate social relations; rather than restricting their attention to technicalmatters, they consciously undertook to structure the labor force and foster the social habitsdemanded by corporate capitalism” [1].

Third, participation from engineering department faculty in the generaleducation components enables them to make these cross-curricular connections. Lastly, facultymentoring and training help achieve this shared goal. Future directions could include makingthese intentional connections common throughout other classes in the engineering curriculum,including both studio design classes and engineering analysis classes.IntroductionTeaching engineering ethics is important for a number of reasons, including the tremendousimpact of technology on society, the reputation of the engineering profession, and the characterdevelopment of students [1] - [6].

UnderstandingIntroduction and BackgroundEngineers have the potential to contribute great benefits to society or enact great harm throughtheir work. This is evident in media reports of large-scale engineering failures (e.g. [1] ), publicdebates about emerging technologies [2], and the commonplace ethical dilemmas that engineersmight confront in everyday practice [3]. As a result, engineering students’ and professionalengineers’ perceptions and understanding of the ethical implications of their work is of greatimportance.In this paper, we use the moral exemplars identified by engineering students as a tool to exploretheir ethical perceptions over their years of undergraduate studies and the subsequent transitionto professional practice or graduate school.
