indicates that engineering leaders and social science andhumanities scholars can benefit from dialogues like this one. Engineering leaders grapple withethical quandaries at all stages of their career: depending on their level of authority andresponsibility, they may be willing to engage differently with ethical concepts and theimplications of ethical decision-making. Social scientists and humanities scholars can learndirectly from the lived experience of engineers and project managers and better understand therationale for their decisions when in direct conversation. The interest in engaging on thesetopics, and deeper study on the ways in which practicing engineers engage on these topics, maybe a valuable point of study for future engineering

Although intended as an improvement over the theorytheory-based approach because it seems to provide students with tools and procedures, they canuse to work through moral decisions they may face in their careers [7], this approach still hasseveral limitations. Firstly, many of the cases used are several decades old, potentially leadingstudents to view them as irrelevant to modern engineering challenges [2].

Case studies can also helpinterpret longitudinal data, making it a valuable method for studying educational trajectoriesof students (Lucas & Roth, 1996) or career trajectories of teachers (Johnson & Birkeland,2003).
