Specifically, the student engineers participating in a seminar course wererequired to read and reflect in writing on Prey by Michael Crichton [3]. To set the stage for thiscase, some of the moral philosophy arguments around the use of fiction are discussedculminating in the conclusion that fiction is an appropriate tool in the teaching of ethics.
