We have ourselves become students of engineeringmindsets and values, allowing us to understand in more granular detail how various actors–faculty, staff and students–conceptualize ethics as apart from engineering [4] [5] [6]. This hasbecome evident, for example, in ABET accreditation where the ABET ethics standard is assessedin the stand-alone ethics class only [7] [8]. It shows up in collaborations with colleagues whoinvite us to guest lecture in their classes, but are reluctant to deliver ethics content on their own.Similarly, at events we think are ripe for socio-technical integration, such as Capstone/DesignDay presentations, ethics surface in predictable ways
