Ethics 101 Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionEthics training, now somewhat formalized as ABET EAC criterion 3f and TAC criterion2i, is by necessity becoming a more integral part of engineering and technology curricula,whether via stand-alone ethics courses or inclusion in technical courses and programs.Instructors new to the field, however, may find themselves in a quandary as to coursecontent and methodology; ethics is an enormous and ancient field of study, and tailoringphilosophical content to fit a technical class poses a challenge. Pedagogy in philosophy,too, varies a great deal and tends to be

Some ethicists believe humanity is entering an era referred toas the Morally Deficient Society.

These programs follow an “Introduce, Reinforce, Master” curriculum map as partof the assessment plan where each student learning outcome (SLO) is assessed in at least threecourses of different levels, so that each SLO is assessed at each of the three levels (introduced,reinforced, and mastered). We seek to effectively assess, at the introductory level, the proposedANSAC SLO (5) and the new EAC SLO (4) with a series of case studies and a rubric in ourintroductory physics course.

IntroductionA typical course in Engineering Ethics consists of sections on the elements of moral philosophyand on engineering society codes of ethics. Often numerous ethical case studies are consideredto demonstrate application of the moral theories and to show how codes of professional ethicscan be applied to ethical problems.

One aspect of being a professional inany field is having a shared set of guiding principles, and professional engineering societies allhave codes of ethics. These codes, as well as many other resources about ethical frameworks andsteps in decision making, are available for classroom discussions, and there are databases of casestudies (e.g. https://onlineethics.org/).
