data collected for accreditation.Methodology:ESG 201: “Learning from Engineering Disaster”, a 3 credit asynchronous online undergraduatecourse taught to both engineering and non-engineering majors by the presenter at Stony BrookUniversity for the past 12 years, has proved to be a successful method for teaching ethics as wellas the broader societal implications of engineering processes and technological design (10). Acombination of lectures, case studies, laboratory demonstrations, interviews, video site visits andteam-based collaborative analysis of engineering failures and their implications (societal,environmental, economic, legal, psychological) has proved successful in teaching the role ofengineers and engineering in society, as well as

This technology alreadyshows the potential to dramatically change the trajectory of careers; many fear the elimination of jobs.At the same time, others believe that GenAI will create entire new fields of employment andopportunity. Meanwhile, parallel concerns are detrimental effects on cybersecurity and privacy. Aportion of our course content covers the broad topic of data innovations, including GenAI. The lecturethat includes this topic provides connection to servant leadership. Our guiding principle is to practicemastery of this technology in ways that enhance humanity and promote transparency. A keyassignment includes prompts for associated laboratory teams to grapple with

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
their first term on campus as freshmanthrough senior design, students receive and have opportunities to practice both leadership andteamwork skills. This training begins with having students take the My Colorful Portraitpersonality test in a first year, first term course, and includes guidance on creating team normingdocuments, ways to motivate team members, etc. In courses with teamwork (project-basedcourses or laboratory courses), students receive additional training and reflection opportunities toreinforce these attitudes and skills.At JMU, freshmen engineering students are introduced to psychological safety in a first-yearengineering elective course as a two-week module. Psychological safety was also reinforced inthe spring semester of

Ong, Whitworth University Dr. Markus Ong is an associate professor within the Department of Engineering & Physics at Whitworth University, located in Spokane, WA. He earned his PhD in materials science and engineering from Stanford University in 2008 and was a staff researcher developing and characterizing nanomaterials at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA before starting at Whitworth in 2010. His current teaching responsibilities primarily include lower division physics classes, materials and mechanics classes in the
students would be exposed to.” “I suspect that it really is then individualized depending on which laboratory an undergrad student might be working in. For that matter, a graduate student as well.” “I think the ones that I can think of explicitly would be the ethical guidelines that we agreed to become members of societies. For example, the ecological society has ethical guidelines. And being a member means I subscribe to those” “I presume then that they also become exposed to other ethical frameworks related to publications, etc.” “Other than I would say obvious ones—that are related to sacrificing animals, you know there's a whole protocol for that—that requires lots of

Disclosure is ethically mandatoryif the protected information involves the public good, according to Bok: “[T]he secrecy mayconcern practices so harmful or invasive that they ought to be revealed, no matter how muchsecrecy would increase business incentives” [35, p. 148]. “Trade secret” is no longer a viableargument for nondisclosure if the information results in harming the public health, safety, orwelfare.However, DuPont’s efforts extended beyond nondisclosure. Starting in 1937, it aggressivelysuppressed publication of research results. The first case involved pathologist William Hueper,hired by Dupont’s Haskell Laboratories to investigate why dye

A search of items in my institution’s library reveals its use in strikingly varied contexts,including: voter engagement; dentistry; spirituality in the treatment of substance use disorders;protocols governing the use of laboratory animals; the transition from graduate student to tenuretrack faculty member; sustainable development; the triangular relationship of Britain, China, andHong Kong; and interactive systems installed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.This eclectic range of use cases attests to the flexibility and generative power of the metaphor aswell as its intuitive appeal, but it also reflects ambiguity and
