. As indicated by the first theme, ethics is an espousedvalue, but that value is not always reflected in the curriculum. With ethics only visible in selectengineering courses, the importance of ethics to engineering education and practice might not becommunicated to students. One implication of this finding is aligning purported values withcurricular requirements. Given social-technical dualism within engineering culture and thepriority of technical subjects [26], the limited visibility of ethics or its separation from technicalcourses can continue to reinforce this false dichotomy. Another tension arises when ethics isnarrowly constrained to academic integrity. Although an important component of emphasizingethical behavior, academic integrity

She has led Wake Forest Engineering with a focus on inclusive innovation and excellence, curricular and pedagogical innovation, and creative partnerships across the humanities, social sciences, industry, entrepreneurs, etc. in order to rethink and reimagine engineering education. All this has led to Wake Forest Engineering achieving unprecedented student diversity (42% women, 25% racial and ethnic minorities) and faculty diversity (50% women, 25% racial and ethnic diversity).

Although STS andother academic fields have begun to take an interest in non-human animals, the topic isthinly addressed in engineering ethics literature. And yet, as the primary source oflearning and training for aspiring engineers, engineering education has a responsibility toinclude in its curriculum ethical considerations of animal welfare in the development anddeployment of new engineered systems, and in existing engineering systems.Resources for a new engineering ethicsA good place to introduce engineering students to the idea of engineering with a focus onethics and animals

Some of these challenges have been long discussed by the engineering ethicscommunity: at what level are engineers responsible for their products? How can projectmanagers and engineers effectively integrate societal considerations in workaday efforts?

Long-term ethical education can also serve as a perennial concept. Rather than a one-time ethicsworkshop, integrate ongoing ethics education into AI courses. For instance, students could explorecase studies related to indigenous knowledge and AI.Furthermore, collaboration should be achieved with local communities, linguists, and educators toensure that AI systems are culturally sensitive. Regularly update algorithms to reflect evolvingcultural norms. Moreover, AI tools that facilitate the documentation and dissemination ofindigenous knowledge should be developed. In addition, involving community

understanding, students must critically examine the importance ofengineering in their field [20]. Ethics should be reconceptualized “as an integrative force ratherthan a discrete requirement” [22]. Students should actively participate in their ethics education,and it should not be separate from their engineering education. It must be relocated “from theperiphery of the curriculum to its core by empowering students to investigate ethics in the waysthat are most meaningful to them” [20]. A proven methodology for doing so is a “modified versionof the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), which asks students to locate an ethical problem in afilm, text, or TV program, and then briefly to describe the problem, analyze its ethical dimensions,and indicate

and better communicate to students how all engineering decisions should be madewithin the broader moral landscape, as opposed to a select few decisions. An engineeringeducation integrated with ethics as a way to make longer-lasting systemic change [13], [12].Incorporating experiences such as community outreach and guest speakers helps, in part, toframe an education in the ethical issues beyond the workplace [16]; however, this is just anextension, albeit a very valuable one, of the current education strategy. More recent papershave proposed game-based learning experiences, or ‘playful learning’ as a way for students toimmerse themselves in ethical issues and consider them from new perspectives [9], [8].
