relative to the prevalence of preconventionalreasoning, which corresponds to self-interest and the avoidance of punishment. Although thereis scholarly debate about the merits of the DIT, among its advantages are that it is scalable andpromises a quantitative measure of the effectiveness of ethics education. Our own use of the second edition of the test (DIT-2) to compare different modes ofethics instruction at the Georgia Institute of Technology yielded troubling results: in a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-tests and a control group, we found no statisticallysignificant change in students’ moral reasoning over a semester, even for those students whotook a full course in engineering ethics.[2] What the study did not tell
