The distinctions between Micro, Meso, and Macro have beenwidely acknowledged in engineering ethics and related fields such as economics, sociology, andpsychology, as they provide a framework for analyzing ethical considerations at varying levels ofscale and influence within complex systems [12], [13], [14].

In this way, they may begin to “transgress” againstdominant views of engineering that can limit students’ critical thinking and engagement withsocio-political issues within engineering contexts.

the FTX collapse as a case study through which students can deliberate onthese issues.IntroductionWhen I started following the rapid collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange in November2022, I was already considering the possibility of a case study for my engineering students.Students at my institution (and, I suspect, elsewhere) had been enthusiastic about investments incryptocurrency, even forming an official school club. I thought that studying a spectacular failurein crypto might leverage students’ interests in the manner of other case studies in engineeringethics and communication, such as the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle tragedies.

In other words,the language of RRI assumes a very different kind of relationship between actors than does thelanguage of regulation. An awareness of the power of analogies can heighten our sensibilitiesregarding the linguistic choices we habitually make.Where analogical imagination refers to the context evoked by a particular choice of words,analogical reasoning is a form of critical thinking in which we make an implicit comparisonexplicit and explore how the

Thisknowledge is expressed through practical skills such as hunting, trapping, and gathering, andthrough the values of responsibility and reciprocity. Stewardship in this context means to giveback to nature all that nature gives to us and to take only what we need [29].H. R.

crucialmechanism by which U.S. engineering education settings have grappled with unwanted politicalsensibilities is through silencing. There is an enduring sense that rigorous, respectableengineering training, as well as engineering in action, from the technical classroom, at the labbench, or on the factory floor must exclude the subjectivities we know as “politics.” This isdespite the concession by some that value systems known as “ethics” or “rigor” may (must) bebolstered [26], [27]. Across many technical subdisciplines, so-named ethics and other liabilitysystems are today seen to represent the universe of Engineers’ moral responsibilities in itsentirety.

This theory supports the message that educators are responsible for caring for theirstudents and believing in their success outside of the classroom [15]. The theory can beextended to say that the goal of an engineering educator is to ensure that engineering students areable to leave the degree program as not only successful engineers but also as successful

that is a problem.I believe engineers are smart enough to see climate change and be proactive without being forcedinto through course work.”. Four more students believed even though it wasn’t covered in class,that isn’t an issue, as the responsibility of climate change shouldn’t fall on engineering students,but rather on big companies or government.The remaining students who said no, said that climate change is either brushed over, not broughtup at all, or that coverage is not sufficient. One recurring theme is the lack of substantiality indesign courses. For example, “Especially in introductory design classes, the importance ofdesign for the environment is lost. Ethics already has some sustainability components, but thesefailed to strongly
