preparing learners todevelop scripts and action plans for acting consistently with their values in ethically challengingscenarios. The approach moves away from discussing what the right action would be accordingto different ethical normative frameworks, and instead starts from the premise that most peopleare able to recognize the right course of action that is consistent with their values, and want topursue it; however, they have difficulties acting accordingly. Central to this learning model is theapplication of a thought experiment framed as: “Assuming I know what I want to do to act onmy values, how can I get it done?” The capacity to bridge the space between decision and actionis strengthened by reflection about past experiences and each

Outcomeswere measured by ABET assessment tools developed by the department. The fraction of studentsthat struggled to describe the basic tenets of an ethical system was reduced by a factor of three,and the fraction of students that could clearly support judgments with ethical tenets increasedfrom 40% to 64%.In addition to the pedagogical modification, several things enhanced the student learningexperience that have implications for how educators and institutions can effectively deliverethics education.

Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).The intent of GVV is not to persuade people to be more ethical. Instead, it starts from thepremise that most people want to act on their values, but also want their actions to be successfuland effective. Rather than focusing on ethical analysis, the GVV curriculum focuses onimplementation and teaches students to ask themselves: “What if I were going to act on myvalues? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?” Students learn to do this bydeveloping action plans and practicing scripts they compose.The seven principles, or “pillars,” of GVV guide students through the process of thinking aboutwhat is at stake when addressing ethically challenging situations. Figure 1 summarizes thepillars: Values

This created a more authentic process for an ethics discussion inthe senior capstone design class.2) Create additional content, in the form of videos on various ethics topics that are relevant toCSCE undergraduate students, to be shared to other instructors teaching other CSCE courses inthe curriculum.Although the specific

that is so widely taken in engineering prac-tice, but that many engineering ethics education programs do not use, given the focus on the‘rules and codes’ approach. In an engineering education students can often be taught one‘correct’ way to solve problems. They are shown how to learn and apply new things, howto perform well and attain the correct answer through hard work, but not how to fail well.Students might end up attempting a problem multiple times, but failure is never expected orincluded as part of the design plan, and more so is always to be avoided, despite the valuablelessons such an experience can give.
