Paper ID #37044A Framework for the Classroom Use of Science-Fiction to Enhance EthicalDesign Skills among Engineering SudentsElyas Masrour ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023A framework for the classroom use of science-fiction to enhance ethical design skills among engineering students I. 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.

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].

ColorAbstractThis WIP paper intends to supplement our current understanding of political awareness andethical disengagement among engineering undergraduates. As an integral part of the productionof globally-sold technology and weaponry [1-6], engineers in the United States need to have anactive and informed interest for global public welfare as well as the political applications of theirwork [7]. Part of developing this informed interest is supposed to occur as they get theirbachelor’s degree, as ABET expects graduates to be able to “recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations” (Criterion 3: Student Outcomes) and make decisionsthat give weight to the global and societal impact of their work [8]. In spite of this effort

Her primary teaching objective is to foster a lifelong learning mindset in her students by promoting critical thinking and problem-based learning. Dr. AbdelGawad’s teaching philosophy integrates real-life ethical dilemmas to encourage students to think deeply, challenge their opinions, and integrate ethics into their coursework to help shape them into successful, professional and socially responsible engineers. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Engineering Excellence through Strategic Team Management Shell Eco-Marathon STRATEGIES

elements effectively and creating content tailored to both students andinstructors.IntroductionThe majority of engineering undergraduate programs lack sufficient guidance on social andethical responsibility in the field of engineering. Both the U.S. National Academy of Engineeringand ABET accreditation emphasize the necessity to embed ethics and social responsibility toaddress ethical, global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic impacts [1]-[3] Researchhas consistently demonstrated the value of sociotechnical awareness in engineers. For instance,engineers must prioritize public well-being and ethical responsibilities in their work [4]-[8],understand the societal impacts of engineering solutions [9]-[12], and challenge cultural normsthat

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].

Summer Stevens became doctoral student in Virginia Tech’s Engineering Education program after obtaining a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Utah. She also looks forward to completing an MS in Structural Engineering at Virginia Tech. Summer’s career goals revolve around becoming a civil engineering or engineering education professor, or conversely, a university outreach program coordinator. Her current research interests include validating crochet as a form of tinkering, K-12 engineering identity, artistic understandings of engineering, family rights for engineers, engineering student mental health, engineering ethics education, and mass timber construction. ©American Society for

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

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

. For the qualityassurance in engineering education in American universities, some of the initialchallenges and pressures may be influenced by technical factors, but they are notlimited by simple technical difficulties, and also involve more important issues suchas ethics, culture, and fairness. In the process of vigorously promoting programaccreditation of engineering education, clear requirements have also been put forwardfor the evidence-support capability. The transformation of outcome-basedaccreditation paradigm will be constrained and hindered to some extent by theprevious one overemphasis of the input and process. Many colleges and universitiesare still struggling to adapt to this transformation, mainly manifested in the singularityof
