Some of these companies have expressed the desire to use the services of MSUDenver in the testing of small satellites if those services were available. Manufacturers of testingequipment have also been approached to understand the range and limitations of theirequipment’s, the capabilities and the cost. Following these conversations, there appears to be anopportunity MSU Denver Engineering Department to cooperate with this industry. The goal is toimplement the technology and simultaneously solidify the knowledge base in vibration testing ofsatellites systems, since this type

texts into classes.4.1 Course and MaterialsThe materials for analysis were drawn from a sophomore-level ethics course at a large publicResearch 1 (Carnegie classification) university. This course is required of most engineeringmajors. Ethical reasoning is developed through an introduction to ethical theories andcontemporary ethical issues in engineering, technology and society. Course materials andassignments consider intuitionism, which is a person’s intuitive reaction to ethical issues, threeethical theories – i.e., utilitarianism, respect for persons (Kantian deontology), and virtue ethics –and the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) code of ethics. Through a variety ofactivities and formats, students analyze and respond to
missing invarious codes, is macroethics which considers the “collective, social responsibility of theengineering profession and societal decisions about technology”.7 Issues such as security andpeace, social justice and social responsibility are often viewed as macroethical challenges.In addition, unless ethics education is provided by instructors in the social sciences, mostinstances of ethics instruction to engineering students minimizes the discussion of various ethicaltheories that could be used in the categorization of ethical situations. Though numerous theoriesexist, most ethical concerns can be categorized under the broad umbrellas of utilitarianism,deontology, and virtue. In short, utilitarianism represents a collection of theories where
