Introduction to Current Engineering Ethics Education Modern society is often at the whim of technology, and therefore at the whim of thepeople who create technology: engineers. Unfortunately, for decades, engineers have beeneducated from an almost entirely technical standpoint. Our education system

equal partners in the engineering process, rather than people theengineers are ‘helping’. Following these two pillars, ethical and empathetic decision making are the thirdpillar, encouraging engineers to base decisions beyond traditional resource justifications, such as cost andtime. Howcroft et al. emphasize that these pillars need to be continuously integrated over the course of adegree program to be impactful.Figure 1: Empathy models adapted from their source literature on a continuum from decontextualized tocontext-driven.DiscussionEach model reflects the context in which it was created and can each aid engineering educators inimplementing empathy in their curricula. Zaki’s [6] model developed by a psychologist, is the mostdecontextualized

lower elementary [3]. Research suggests emerging technologies have great potential toimprove learning and help students develop an interest in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) [1]. In essence, academia, non-profits, and for-profits have begun todevelop AI curricula and resources for pre-college education [2]. The Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (MIT) recently released ‘The Middle School AI + Ethics Curriculum,’ whichintegrates ethics in technical lessons to develop students’ ethical design skills [2].BackgroundArtificial Intelligence in Pre-College EducationArtificial Intelligence (AI) in literature is defined as “the science and engineering of creatingintelligent machines” [4, p. 2]. AI is a branch of CS that merges

professional identity with the student and helping them in ways that didnot violate the ethical principles of engineering and teaching. The results of this interaction werethat the student made it successfully through the semester and is finishing their program in goodstanding. The final takeaways from this experience are the use of empathic mentoring, being thechange that one wishes to be in engineering education, and taking extreme ownership of one’smentoring role to develop and guide their mentees.IntroductionEngineering as a discipline has had a reputation for having a difficult curriculum where manystudents do not succeed [1]–[7]. The most recent numbers regarding engineering retention ratesfor United States universities show that approximately

is your expected score for this course? 90-100 80-89 70-79 60-69 50-59 0-49As our research focuses on the cognitive perspective rather than programming ability, we do notcollect students’ real grades for this course. Instead, we ask for their expected score for thiscourse at mid and end of the term and match this perceived performance with their otherresponses. The data collection methodology has been approved by the Research Ethics Board(REB) at the University of Toronto.The first survey has a total of N = 83 responses, where 47 are industrial engineering students, 23are mechanical engineering students, and there are also 12 materials science engineering studentsand 1 chemical engineering student included in the responses.

engineering course Itook. In this course, students were put into groups and had to complete an engineering task (inmy case, build a simple robot); however, the class’s primary learning outcomes focused on non-technical concepts like engineering ethics, which made this course like a mini capstone wherestudents had to find the information themselves to complete their projects. Reflecting on thisproject, I realized that researching and building circuitry for robots was the primary reason forselecting Electrical Engineering. Therefore, when I look at the department’s RED program, I seea similar ideology: an attempt to teach students more about the professional side of engineeringand empower students to take responsibility for learning. I still have not

The studentswe researched helped me gain a better understanding of how I view my and others’ approach toengineering and what defines success.Coding and Analysis ProceduresDuring the analysis process researchers read through both interviews to familiarize themselveswith the data [22]. Two main researchers were involved in the coding process. These researcherscoded roughly three quarters of one interview together, and then coded the remainder of the sameinterview individually. Nearly 200 codes were created in the first pass of the first interview.These unique codes were then reduced to six collated codes for the codebook to capture theentirety

of a recent study revealed that highacademic rigor and exams were identified as the most common sources of stress amongengineering students [7]. On the other hand, personal stressors such as living away from home,peer pressure, health and financial worries should be taken into account [19]. The researchdiscovered that engineering students experiencing mental health problems are less likely to seeksupport for their mental health issues [20]. Stress and anxiety are prevalent among engineers [21]. This is a result of the nature ofengineering, characterized by its strictness, robustness, and a demanding work ethic [21]. Workpressure can have negative impacts on both physical and mental health of individuals [22].Similar to engineering
