individual’s decision-making in the face of discrete moral or ethical quandaries. Yet,prior scholarship by Joseph Herkert [2] suggests there is a multi-layered set of ethical obligationsthat range for microethics––or individual decisions––to macroethics, which reflect theprofessional society’s values and ethical obligations. Macroethical dilemmas result in the“problem of many hands”, as described by van der Poel and Royakkers [3]. This brings to lightthe notion that individuals or even large organizations are not solely responsible for engineeringprocesses and uncertain outcomes. For it is clear that no individual or discrete organization hascomplete control and authority for the complex socio-technical innovation process from designto implementation

Thisresearch paper draws on data from three focus groups that were conducted with a total of 26undergraduate engineering students at three U.S. universities. The students were enrolled inengineering courses with ESI content, and the focus groups included discussion of the specificcourse that was being studied by the research team as a potential exemplar of ESI instruction andof students’ broader exposure to ESI inside and outside the classroom. In all three courses, thestudents were seniors and thus could reflect on their undergraduate experience. The focus groupswere

in this article.Dr. Marie Stettler Kleine’s research on humanitarian and integrated engineering programsinspired her reflection on how different forms of contextualization and the vocabulary used todescribe them signal different ways to best teach engineers. Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the

TheCOVID-19 pandemic thus provides an opportunity to investigate dimensions of engineeringculture during a crisis, which can open new avenues for conversations about equity andaccessibility in engineering by identifying which aspects of culture are most and least amenableto change. In other words, disasters can help uncover ‘what really matters’ and potentially offer anew avenue for cultural change.This paper and its larger research project aim to capture student experiences and reflections, intheir own words, in order to understand how dimensions of engineering culture interacted withpractices in engineering education during COVID-19.

sociotechnical nature of design to identify underlying principles that inform andguide best practices for teaching design and operationalizing humanistic purposes in engineeringeducation. Opportunities exist particularly in the open-ended, ill-defined, reflective, and socialnature of design. Leveraging these in teaching practices and curriculum promotes a broad andwell-rounded education that inspires and enables a creative and productive life, and that isnecessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. Assuch, design provides a unique opportunity to incorporate and promote the underlyinghumanistic qualities that operationalize humanistic purposes in engineering curricula.IntroductionPeters c.f.
