To frame this question this paper questions how well rules-based, or deontological,ethics provides useful guidelines in the case that the domain in which decisions are made becomecomplex or when technology is changing rapidly. Given that some companies report the half-lifeof information is as short as six months [private communication], can engineering ethics alwaysprovide useful guidance to action, or are there situations where other ethical frameworks aremore appropriate?Engineering ethics is an often-discussed subject, and substantial work in engineering educationaddresses how to effectively teach ethics [1]–[3], evaluate learning outcomes [4], and identifyissues and

Somestudents are also engineering majors, seeking unique perspectives on materials not oftendiscussed in a traditional materials courses. The course assessment indicated that some of thestudent in non-engineering majors did not see the connection of this course with their major.The conclusion was that the teaching

This change wasnot just in process, but also in academic culture and led to the broad (if often grudging)acceptance of assessment as a valid educational activity that faculty should perform.Later reports such as The Engineer of 2020 [11] emphasized the interconnected nature ofengineering with society at large: “Engineering is a profoundly creative process.
