Responding to this need, engineeringprograms increasingly offer engineering ethics education. However, courses in engineeringethics as well as research on students’ developing sense of engineering ethics often emphasizethe micro-ethics of research, mentoring, and publications. In comparison, research is limited onhow future engineers understand the social, ethical, environmental, economic, and politicalimpact of their scientific and technological contributions. In this manuscript, we present 2 case-study accounts of how future engineers think about an engineer’s responsibility towards thesocial and global impact

It then describes the challenges of ensuringparticipation of the students and the community as equal partners and how this wasachieved by including practice of care as a central piece of the course. In addition toreading and discussing literature on care ethics, the students used these concepts to createindividual “care statements” which guided the design process. The paper then describes apreliminary attempt at understanding student engineers’ experiences of engaging withcare as well as their evolving understanding of practicing care in engineering practice.Introduction

Most, if not allof such activities may be addressed through four to five relatively short sessions. However, in amore comprehensive course, offering ten 80-minute sessions (or 12 one-hour sessions), elementsof engineering ethics, sustainable design, green engineering, and a general understanding of theglobal economy may be added to the agenda. In this process, the facilitators may recognize theadvantages of having a class of multi-disciplinary engineering students for creation of someexciting and relevant exercises for the above “added” topics.
