used in both an engineering communications course and an engineering ethics courseat a research institution. In this assignment, the Social Impact Analysis (SIA), students are askedto identify and research a current engineering design, product, or concept that is (or soon will be)impacting society. Prima facie, this assignment promises to help acquaint students with thecomplexity of deploying new technology in society (domestically or globally). The actual andpotential impacts of these technologies raise a host of ethical issues that are students must beaware of and engage. However, as analyses and discussions become more nuanced (in light ofcomplexity), they can also become more abstract and, therefore, less practically important tostudents

One aim is toincorporate as much hands-on activities as possible in their curricula without having to curtail thetheoretical foundation and yet to stay within the total number of existing credit hours. However,adding more laboratory activities implies a financial burden on the department and
