forindividual engineers to prepare for their professional careers. The approachable writing style andreflective nature of the content make this text ideal for any level of engineering student, but it isparticularly salient for first- or second-year students.Giving Voice to Values (GVV)The GVV curriculum was pioneered by Mary Gentile, former professor with the University ofVirginia School of Business, for application in business. GVV takes an “action-orientedapproach” to values-driven leadership.11 We selected GVV for the Engineering Ethics coursebecause many graduating engineering students will one day step into leadership roles in businessorganizations. A significant body of GVV content is delivered by Gentile as pre-recordedmodules, developed for a

responsibility to generate and disseminate knowledge with rigor and integrity, but also a responsibility to: o conduct peer review with the highest ethical standards, o diligently protect proprietary information and intellectual property from inappropriate disclosure, o and treat students and colleagues fairly and with respect.” [14]While the natural environment may be of concern to individual engineering researchers,these homocentric codes of engineering ethics are still rooted in the mechanistic thinkingof the 17th century, where reference to non-human animals is largely omitted. There areethical guidelines for research involving animals, but they may warrant reconsideration,given new developments and debates over

be included,conducted by the instructor, to examine how the technology sector is developing mechanismsand procedures to avoid these types of failures – specifically by building diversity and inclusioninto the engineering design process. Student engagement and feedback will be enhancedthrough the use of online discussion forums (which can be asynchronous) in which students arerequired to comment on particular case studies and engage with their peers as they analyze thecauses of failure.Specific reading assignments for the DIV learning module include excerpts from "TheAlignment Problem" by Brian Christian (12), "Technically Wrong" by Sara Wachter-Boettcher(13), and “Race after Technology” by Ruha Benjamin (14). These are critically acclaimed
