This is a weighty concept for the profession and the practicingengineer. The relationship of engineering and society dictates that engineers operate in goodfaith to ensure the welfare of society is paramount. As such, engineering ethics are a part of thiscomplex relationship and the education of engineering students should be effective in makingthem more ethically minded.

practical-minded people, engineers are better served by learning to approachmoral dilemmas by way of the second method rather than the first. I simply think engineers (andother less-theoretically-inclined people) learn more easily when they use argument as a problem-solving method. It is my contention, however, that engineering ethics courses (and appliedethics courses in general) tend to over-emphasize the “warrants based on precedence,” meaningthat more is done to provide details about paradigm cases than is done to address the otheraspects of the model.At this point it might be reasonable to pause and ask, what is the purpose of an engineeringethics course? Is it to teach future engineers to make better moral decisions? Or is it to

Can engineeringdesign be similarly deconstructed? Perhaps. While the designer may have in mind a singlepurpose, that purpose is communicated only obliquely to the user through the design itself. Anadmirable design fits form to function so that the design itself implies the use. But thiscommunication is never perfect. The user interprets the design, sometimes using it in ways thedesigner intended, sometimes in ways the designer never

Introduction to Engineering courses are in close alignment withthe standard’s based kits developed by the National Science Resource Center (Science andTechnology for Children – STC) and those developed by Lawrence Hall of Science at theUniversity of California, Berkeley (Full Option Science System – FOSS). The methodologyused in the teaching of science focuses on a hands-on/minds-on approach. Teachers must havethe content background to help their students develop meaning from their experiences. In orderto do this at the elementary level teachers must get past their own fears about their lack of abilityand/or knowledge in the areas of math and science. Through the Engineering for Educators classit was expected that the preservice teachers in elementary
