Session 3261 Using Moral Theories to Evaluate Engineering Codes of Conduct William Jordan, Bill Elmore and Stan Napper College of Engineering and Science Louisiana Tech UniversityAbstractIn this paper we will use several moral theories to analyze the legitimacy of engineering codes ofconduct. We believe this is an issue that has been neglected in many engineering ethics studies.Traditionally, one of several approaches to engineering ethics is used in practical decision making. Oneapproach to engineering ethics concentrates on case studies. Case
teamsAbstractPsychological safety is emerging in the literature as a gateway to creating high performing teamsand high team satisfaction. Studies have demonstrated that psychological safety is a keyingredient in the ability of teams to perform to a higher degree than they otherwise would be ableto. In this research, we continue to expand the assessment of psychological safety in seniorcapstone teams to include data from engineering programs across four different institutions toprovide a sense of the experiences on capstone design teams and impacts interventions mayhave. We also begin to explore approaches to improve psychological safety in senior capstoneteams by focusing on improving students’ awareness of their ethics (the principles that guidetheir choices). The

Paper ID #41379Engagement in Practice: Innovating a Project-Based, Community EngagedCourse for Engineering Students that Fosters Ethical ThinkingProf. Tucker Krone, Washington University in St. Louis Tucker Krone joined the faculty in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis in 2017. He teaches statistics, ethics, publication writing, communication, and community engaged courses. Tucker emphasizes engineering and statistics as forces for equity and social justice. Tucker Krone’s current passion focuses on integrating community engagement, social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion into
education programs found that engineering educators often attribute engineering project failures to technical, communication, or cultural issues and overlook the oppressive systems that could contribute to a pattern of failures across projects.I nstead, students have expressed frustration with only being shown cases of failure[21]and wanting examples of success stories. HE students have expressed “just wanting to know what to do" when encountering complex ethical and ambiguous questions. Further, without clear answers, they express frustration and disengagement from discussion topics around systematic oppression[5]. Other scholarship has shown studentsdropping out of engineering spaces when

He also received the Engineeringdepartment’s “Top 5% Teaching Award” in fall 2013. His average instructor rating is of 4.7 outof 5, making him one of the highest rated professors at the engineering college. His role as thefaculty associate mentor and director of the class would be to keep the new CCA class on trackto the new changes. He redesigned the class format as seen in the value based sector in Figure 2as well as implemented a student mentor.
