As Sottile (2023, p.1) recently argued, “the safety and security of the public rely on the professionalism ofengineers.” The issue of effective engineering ethics education is important enough that theengineering accreditor ABET prescribes it as a student program outcome (ABET, 2021). Thiswork looks-in on a novel curricular development approach for creating a micro-credential inprofessional ethics at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), a large, public, research-intensive institution location in the northeast United States.
