operation arebecoming complex. To correctly manage uncertainties in protecting the public, it is critical totake long-term preventive measures by regulating mobility engineering practices in deliveringautonomous driving solutions. To date, the lack of licensure for all mobility engineers remainsone of the significant challenges. As we investigated NCEES exam products in the civilengineering domain, none of the exams are targeting the unique knowledge base and skillsrequirements for a mobility engineer profession. Without an effective mechanism to regulate thisemerging occupation, ethical practice and quality assurance of engineering projects could beundermined. In this study, we investigated the current educational programs, job market,requirements

-Credential on Professional EthicsIntroduction and Literature ReviewEngineering practice is not without risk for the public and one’s customers. As Sottile (2023, p.1) recently argued, “the safety and security of the public rely on the professionalism ofengineers.” The issue of effective engineering ethics education is important enough that theengineering accreditor ABET prescribes it as a student program outcome (ABET, 2021). Thiswork looks-in on a novel curricular development approach for creating a micro-credential inprofessional ethics at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), a large, public, research-intensive institution location in the northeast United States. The novelty of this approach rests onthe curricular development team
