Engineering Ethics

I-CELER forpromoting ethical becoming based on scholarly literature from various social science fields,including social anthropology, moral development, and psychology. This paper proceeds in five parts. First, we introduce the state of the art of engineering ethicsinstruction; argue for the need of a lens that we describe as ethical becoming; and then detail theSpecific Aims of the I-CELER approach. Second, we outline the three interrelated componentsof the project intervention. Third, we detail our convergent mixed methods research design,including its qualitative and quantitative counterparts. Fourth, we provide a brief description ofwhat a course modified to the I-CELER approach might look like. Finally, we close by detailingthe

Regardless of students’apprehension, instrumentation use grows because these tools can be used to validate importantdesign assumptions and monitor performance as the design is built. This is especially true insituations when unknown design parameters must be verified and workers safety may becompromised, such as a large earthwork and shoring projects.
