Although a coreactivity of engineering is being able to solve complex problems efficiently and effectively, mostengineering problems contain ambiguous elements. Engineers that are confident handlingambiguity are needed to solve real-world problems. Within the literature, engineering problemsare typically characterized as either well-structured or ill-structured. Ambiguity, if it ismentioned at all in the problem characterization, goes undefined

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Behavioral Ethics and Engineers: Factors Affecting Decision Making in Cases Involving Risk and Public SafetyAbstractTraditional approaches for infusing ethics into engineering curricula emphasize a Rationalistmodel. In this approach, student learning is focused on understanding and recognizing ethicalissues and developing better reasoning skills. To guide ethical decision making, students practicedetermining facts, clarifying concepts, identifying relevant ethical principles, and weighingevidence. While developing better reasoning skills is critical, research suggests that a person’sjudgement is also affected by a host of social and psychological factors occurring throughout
