It is now no longer aquestion of whether ethics should be integral to curriculum design but how, who, what andwhy. How can it be incorporated? Who should be teaching ethics? What should we beteaching? And, more fundamentally, why are we teaching what we teach? The aim of thispaper is to present how an internationally curated open source ‘Engineering Ethics

Central to these discussions is theevaluation of ethical reasoning, wherein tools like the Engineering Ethics Reasoning Instrument(EERI) play a pivotal role [7].

necessitates taking the contextsof action into account in instructional design. From the perspective of assessment, “ethics inaction” is problematic for instructors who encounter students only in the classroom context. It isnonetheless quite useful because it provides an integrative, non-hierarchical framework thatallows us to think about engineering ethics education on a larger scale than we ordinarily do. Italso opens up the possibility of recognizing the structural factors that have made it difficult tointegrate ethics into the engineering curriculum on a systematic basis.Despite an abundance of resources available to support engineering ethics instruction, includingcases provided through the Online Ethics Center (OEC), “the engineering literature

To achieve this,we need to teach computer and information ethics to students from undergraduate programs,along with theories and technologies in computer sciences. Recent research shows us that ethicseducation improves students’ ethical awareness and sensitivity as well as moral reasoning [3]–[4].

news and challenge of globalization for engineering education is the importance of questioning and studying one’s own identity as an engineer, including the knowledge one values and the broader social commitments one takes for granted in doing engineering work. The work of building such questions into engineering education is the responsibility of all engineering educators and the entire curriculum, including the most technical of technical courses and instructors. The big hurdle to overcome is to move these questions from the periphery of engineering curricula to their core.” [2]As Seabrook et al. examine in their comparative study, embedded courses within engineeringschools that draw from the field of

In this case,an ethics education program may focus on helping students to deepen their understanding ofthese principles and apply them in a variety of different contexts.To assess our current ethics education curriculum, we used the EERI as a pre-test and a post-test.The pre-test was intended to assess students' baseline knowledge and understanding of ethicalprinciples, while the post-test was administered after students completed an ethics educationprogram.

[ 19] agree saying “If a case is constructed by‘hinting’ at how to examine a set of predetermined principles, the student is being handed acontext that is built to reduce the disagreement to such a fundamental level that no actualsituation could ever resemble it. Most of the serious moral work is already done”. Conversely,when approaching narratives–whether on the page or a podcast – students share an implicitacknowledgement that bias, interpretation, and analysis are an integral part of the genre and,thus, look at the characters and their actions rather than searching for a specific answer to aproblem.The critical narratives we used for this particular study

justice and behavioral ethicsresearch are concerned with questions of right and wrong, until recently, the study of ethicalbehavior at work has focused on them as two distinct scholarly traditions. Discussing theimportance of linking the two, they stated [7]: The process theories of justice offer an important avenue for integrating behavioural ethics research. If fairness decisions are made through a series of cognitive steps, then there are a number of stages in which ethical considerations could intervene. (p. 891)In the case of engineering education, Rottmann and Reeve [6] identified “a long-lasting divisionbetween ethics and equity in engineering education” (p. 146) and framed it as the micro/macrodivide.
