This isbecause case studies have a way to bring abstract concepts (philosophical ethics) into thepractical realm: actual or made-up cases that involve engineers. But there are good ways to usecase studies and then there are bad ways to use them. In this presentation, I hope to make somemodest recommendations regarding what goes into using case

constituencies the profession serves. AsBebeau notes, one’s response to an ethical problem partially depends upon how he or sheconceptualizes his or her role.2 For this reason, it is used extensively in the investigation ofprofessional integrity and it has become central to the study of professional ethics in fields suchas medicine, dentistry, law, and social work, and others. Within the last couple of decades, field-specific instruments for inventorying role orientation have been developed for the purpose ofassessing an individual's level of professional integrity as well as for appraising educationalprograms designed to teach professional ethics.For the past two decades there has been considerable scholarly disagreement concerning thenature of a

undergraduate education is largely focused on the transmission of theories, empirically derived facts, and the disciplinary frameworks and methods used to create and interpret empirically derived information. Unfortunately, examining the ways in which students can use the information and analytic processes about which they are learning to create meaningful individual lives and positive social structures has largely been excluded. Such characteristics as wisdom, compassion, and integrity, and such concepts as justice, ethics, values, morality, virtue and character are ones that most undergraduates fail to consider because the curriculum does not encourage them to do so. 3In science and engineering
