Survey of Undergraduate Engineering MajorsAbstractAs evident from several products recently analyzed in research and legal hearings, ethicalconsiderations of products’ influence on user behavior, choice, and well-being may be eclipsedin favor of business outcomes. Persuasive design, a unidirectional process through mobile appsand other digital-enabled products, may translate to consumer risk or inadvertent outcomes. Inthis study, we examine utilization of ethical safeguards and psychological competencies inundergraduate engineering capstone courses, to inform innovative product design with studentconsideration of user well-being. To this end, we propose a research collaboration betweenengineering technology and psychology to promote

], [12]. This may involve framing ethics education aroundreal-world dilemmas, engagement with communities, personal narratives, or the livedexperiences of professionals [13]-[20].This study builds on the concept of the ‘living library’, a method originally designed tochallenge stereotypes through face-to-face engagement with ‘human books,’ seeking totranslate it within engineering ethics education. The paper reports on the use of living librarysessions in a sociotechnical course on Decisions Under Risk and Uncertainty offered at aDutch technological university. The course featured four guest speakers, who took the role ofstory tellers, sharing their personal trajectories and professional experiences with ethicalengineering and ethical dilemmas
