. Justine reflected on times when she did not trust herinstincts, stating, “The most important thing is to not give up on that instinct. There’s a reasonyou feel that way.”Acknowledging Pressure to Go Along Just like pressure in a liquid or gas may be used by a professional engineer to exert forcein a mechanical system, pressure may be used by a leader to encourage compliance with anunethical directive or request. Of course, pressure in a liquid or gas may be easier to measure andevaluate than the human mind when under stress. Participants emphasized the importance oftheir awareness of what actions others had taken to apply pressure and how they were feelingunder that pressure, both as a means to respond appropriately and to avoid

arise, to when they sleep. Quite simply, it isimpossible for someone not to engage engineering in some manner on a reoccurring basis intoday’s modern world. This is a weighty concept for the profession and the practicingengineer. The relationship of engineering and society dictates that engineers operate in goodfaith to ensure the welfare of society is paramount. As such, engineering ethics are a part of thiscomplex relationship and the education of engineering students should be effective in makingthem more ethically minded. This paper will set up virtue ethics as a needed approach inengineering ethics education and exams four virtues as the hallmarks of an engineer: phronesis,justice, fortitude and honesty.engineering as a valued

O BJECTSTo integrate the above ideas into the classroom space, we can capitalize on some of the othermore recognizable configurations of learning for engineers before asking them to venture intothe more unfamiliar territory of ethics and philosophy: project-based, immersive learning.Engineers are usually comfortable working in teams and collaborating to solve complicatedproblems – relying on each other’s expertise to fill knowledge gaps and bounce ideas. Theclassroom can be broken into small teams of 3 -5 students to encourage these skills and situ-ate the game in a more comfortable structure. While this interactive lab idea has been framedwith undergraduate students in mind, we encourage playful adaptation for other spaces3 . 3

This work in progress builds upon two pilot studies presentedpreviously and expanded to include data from additional universities [5,6]. In addition to beingcurious about benchmarking the psychological safety of student engineering teams, we were alsocurious to understand if we can improve psychological safety on underperforming teams. Each ofthe universities participating in this study provides leadership or teaming development training tostudents in some way. Therefore, we are curious if these efforts lead to improvements

help transition engineersdevelop into ethical and equity-minded professionals while adapting successfully to theirchanging roles and responsibilities, we need to understand how early career engineers experienceand perceive issues related to ethics and equity in their workplace. This understanding will allowfor the development of a comprehensive educational curriculum, professional developmentinitiatives, and leadership skills, for personal and professional growth. This study presents the findings from research carried out by interviewing 13 early careerengineers from diverse engineering disciplines across North America, delving into theireducational backgrounds, current work projects, and challenges related to professional ethics

As you mentioned in the course description,the "missing voices" could lead to design failure. Your course can be useful for all engineeringstudents.”(F-URM): “I especially appreciate the topics outlined in the new learning objectives. Thefollowing are a few thoughts that came to mind.
