The topic ofnuclear weaponry repeatedly goes unaddressed, and students repeatedly seek to bring it up. Thisdimension of HC includes those topics notably absent from the formal curriculum, notableespecially when their inclusion would seem to be reasonable or even likely.

I2 required multiple ethics courses outside engineering that were taken earlierin their undergraduate careers, and perhaps those courses were viewed as being more helpful. Inaddition, the I2 course was new (in first to third iterations) and the alumni who responded to thesurvey had only worked for about 1 year after graduating. The short time in-practice was notatypical compared to alumni respondents from institutions I3, I6, and I7. The exemplarinstructors from I1, I3, I6, I7 did appear to have more established courses.
