We then utilizethe intersection of queer theory and video game studies to present how the understandingof failure can help us reshape how it is approached in engineering. Finally, to illustrate theuse of these ideas, we present two theoretical examples of how failure can be enacted in theclassroom for a better understanding of engineering ethics.II.

. Appendix ABig Belly Solar Case StudyBackgroundThe problem of waste management in urban settings is a problem that cities have been workingto tackle for a long time. Recently a number of new technologies, developed in part by engineers,have emerged to help combat common trash problems. The Big Belly Solar trash compactorsystem is one of the technologies that have been widely implemented, including on our owncampus here at Virginia Tech. As with many new technologies, there is some controversy aboutwhether these types of trash cans should be adopted widely, with arguments on either side. Thecases that you will read about look at two perspectives of the Big Belly Solar roll out in the SanFrancisco Bay area--one in the City of San Francisco, and

a basic understanding of ethics because thepurpose of engineering is to serve society [2]. The focus on utility is what separates the field ofengineering from fields like theoretical mathematics and the pure sciences. While other disciplinescan remain in the conceptual realm, engineers are tasked with solving society’s problems—typically through the use of technology. The job of an engineer often involves finding safer, faster,and/or cheaper ways to accomplish tasks [3]. Engineers should use their technical training andskills to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, engineering education is often so focusedon the technical training it takes to become an engineer that the ethical training required to be amorally upstanding engineer
