In thenext phase of our ongoing investigation, we plan to further evaluate the use of playful assessmentto estimate its validity and reliability in comparison to current best practices of engineeringethics assessment.IntroductionAs technology advances, future engineers may be faced with increasingly complex

Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).The intent of GVV is not to persuade people to be more ethical. Instead, it starts from thepremise that most people want to act on their values, but also want their actions to be successfuland effective. Rather than focusing on ethical analysis, the GVV curriculum focuses onimplementation and teaches students to ask themselves: “What if I were going to act on myvalues? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?” Students learn to do this bydeveloping action plans and practicing scripts they compose.The seven principles, or “pillars,” of GVV guide students through the process of thinking aboutwhat is at stake when addressing ethically challenging situations. Figure 1 summarizes thepillars: Values

networks. How would you advocate defensible networks to yourorganization's leadership (if you do not already have one)?ChatGPT Answer:“The concept of a defensible network, as described by Richard Bejtlich, refers to a networkarchitecture that is designed to be secure and resilient against threats and attacks. A defensiblenetwork is one that is carefully planned and structured, with layers of security controls andmonitoring in place to detect and respond to potential threats.I believe that defensible networks are worth the effort for organizations that are concerned aboutthe security and integrity of their data and systems. A well-designed and implemented defensiblenetwork can help to prevent or mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks, which can be

MFT is a social intuitionist theory of ethical reasoning. On thisview, ethical judgments result from intuitions, closer in nature to emotions than reflectivethought [39]. Different intuitions correspond to each of the foundations. Moral foundations resultfrom biological evolution and aim at human survival [40]. The relative preference given todifferent moral foundations is a result of cultural evolution, affected by environments and history[38].2.2.4 Hypotheses and planned analyses1. It was

Translating the ethicaldimensions to questions allows instructors to more easily think through the tool, since the timeinvolved in course planning is often a limiting factor to whether an instructor successfullyintegrates new ideas into their classroom practice.Using the toolIn the course of either creating or revising a course, an instructor can work through the eightdimensions, considering the questions and the examples provided to find ideas for their owncourses.

Just as importantly, that device, plan orcreation should perform its function without fail. Everything, however, does eventually fail and,in some cases, fails with catastrophic results. Through discussion and analysis of engineeringdisasters from nuclear meltdowns to stock market crashes to climate-driven catastrophes, thiscourse will focus on how modern engineers learn from their mistakes in order to create designsthat decrease the chance and severity

that is so widely taken in engineering prac-tice, but that many engineering ethics education programs do not use, given the focus on the‘rules and codes’ approach. In an engineering education students can often be taught one‘correct’ way to solve problems. They are shown how to learn and apply new things, howto perform well and attain the correct answer through hard work, but not how to fail well.Students might end up attempting a problem multiple times, but failure is never expected orincluded as part of the design plan, and more so is always to be avoided, despite the valuablelessons such an experience can give. With ethical problems especially, where downstreameffects of engineering decisions can have many unintended consequences, failure

It became clear even from the early stages of designing and conducting this researchwhat a significant element the differences between institutions posed. Contextual factors, bywhich we mean specific, often contingent facts or background circumstances that shape theconditions for conducting this research or the resulting findings, continuously popped up asissues in our planning and research design. Often they rose to our attention because somefactor was not shared uniformly amongst participating institutions. Some key examplesinclude that undergraduate engineering degrees in the Netherlands are three years long,whereas in the U.S. and China take four years; that all incoming undergraduate engineeringstudents at some universities begin
