GIFTS: Big E Little e, What begins with Ee? – EthicsWe develop our students’ ability to navigate professional ethics in our Introductory Engineeringcourse. In seven sessions, we examine ethical decision making both at the big E – societalimpact of the profession – level and the little e – individual professional responsibility – level.Instead of the typical ethics gone wrong at the corporate level, often captured in classic casestudies (i.e., Challenger Disaster, VW emissions scandal), we encourage students to bothconsider the grand implications of their responsibility as engineers alongside issues of personalintegrity as an engineering student. Too often, students react to the case studies with criticaljudgment but feel

social responsibility education in first year, including ethicsand societal impact. Ethics education has been correlated with increased measures of socialresponsibility, and greater student ranking of the importance of ethics relative to fundamentaltechnical skills [7]. The case studies allow reflection on and discussion of ethics, economics,stakeholders, and impact of engineering projects; while providing a richer context for learningengineering math and science fundamentals. The term “case study” as used in this paper refersto an exercise that contains elements of “inquiry-based learning”, “guided discovery learning”,“problem-based learning”, and “case-based learning” [5].

We realizedthat to accomplish our goals we need to make sure that our students have an in-depth knowledgeof their major field of study, broad understanding of the engineering and its impact on society,skills in communication and critical inquiry, multi-cultural and global perspectives, activeparticipation in professional communities, and a clear understanding of ethical choices inherentin human development. To accomplish these objectives, the following topics, with theanticipated outcomes, were developed:Topics Covered: 1. Keys to success in Engineering Study 2. Success in the Classroom 3.

Nevertheless, quantifying the quality and dosage of implementation can be difficult, andresearch literature on the subject is sparse. Barry and Ohland assessed the extent to whichcoverage of the ABET ethics student outcome criterion (3f: an understanding of professional andethical responsibility) in coursework affected students’ scores on the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)Examination. Determining the dosage of ethics coursework was done through faculty interviews.The researchers found a relationship between coursework and the exam outcomes, but

There is an emphasis on collaboration and group project work. The seven attributesof a World Class Engineer, as defined by Penn State’s School of Engineering Design,Technology, and Professional Programs (SEDTAPP), include being solidly grounded,technically broad, globally engaged, ethical, innovative, an excellent collaborator, and visionaryleaders. At Penn State Brandywine, a small campus of about 70 engineering students per year,the ability to help students become globally engaged, as well as to develop internationalcommunication skills, has been emphasized by incorporating a design project that

The other three blocks are lab, design, and ethics courses. Sheppard et al.indicated how engineering programs introduced theory before practice where open-ended designand lab courses were at a later stage of the curriculum. They noted that engineering ethics,humanities, and social science coursework were not treated as an integral part of the engineeringcurriculum [8]. Chen conducted a nationwide examination of first year engineering curricula [7].She categorized the first-year engineering courses into five categories: (1) engineering, (2

These lessons invite the students to reflect on their own experiences, theirown motivations for pursuing engineering, and to think more broadly about the role ofengineering and engineers in society.Systems Thinking and Sustainability: This module incorporates core lessons on seeing the “bigpicture”, i.e., systems
