contract and then add extras as you anticipate your subcontractors will do the same. 5 It is normal to show a subcontractor a rival's bid to obtain the best price for your firm. 6 As long as one's actions are not illegal, they are ethical. 7 Bad decisions made from ignorance are just as unethical as those from greed. 8 The degree of your ethical behavior is influenced by that of your peers. 9 It is okay to share confidential information with one's partner if he/she does not work in the same industry. 10 It is more important to be ethical on public projects than private projects as you are spending tax dollars on the former. 11 One must place their client's interests before his/her employer's interests

Thetextbook is an Open Education Resource (OER) through OpenStax and has informationmanagement content free of charge following the loosest Creative Commons license. Eventhough the textbook is called Business Ethics [7], it has great content for both engineering andengineering technology. Chapters cover the history of ethics, culture, stakeholders, workenvironments as well as current issues.

morality as it relates tofundamental canons included in the NSPE Code of Ethics [7].9 In effect, with a focus on appliedethics, we provide a scaffold on which ethics, professional skills, and technical skills can bejoined as a fabric of components necessary to successful engineering practice.Structuring the Lessons: ARCS and “Full Stack Ethics” as a guideIt may be no surprise that matters of professional ethics are sometimes considered by students tobe outside their central focus, and even unimportant to their success as engineering students andeventually as engineers [9]. This is clearly indicated in student comments in response to ourinterventions (see below) and is at least in part attributable to the fact that “ethics” as a topic israrely

empathic engineering that is influenced by one’s identity and biases.Feminist virtue ethicsVirtue ethics is rooted in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics [7]. As opposed to ethical theories thatare concerned with deciding right action, such as utilitarianism and deontology, virtue ethics isconcerned with developing virtuous character throughout the course of one’s life. According toAristotle, moral actions naturally follow from moral or virtuous character. This ethical systemfocuses on developing virtues such as wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance. To developthese virtues, one must habitually practice virtuous actions and critically reflect on theexperience. Virtue ethics has largely been ignored until its resurgence in the middle of thetwentieth
activities was useful to increasestudents’ employability [6], professional ethics [7], skills for writing a business plan [8] andthe like. Despite of the promotion of these educational efforts, however, the impact of TIECson engineering students’ entrepreneurship intention and behaviors, remain scarcely answered.Entrepreneurial intention, as the prerequisite and the best prediction of entrepreneurialbehavior, have an important impact on actual entrepreneurial behavior. This research focuseson engineering students’ entrepreneurial intention and sets out to explore the impact ofengagement in TIECs on their entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to examine tworesearch questions: 1) In the context of TIECs, what are the factors that affect
