Responding to this need, engineeringprograms increasingly offer engineering ethics education. However, courses in engineeringethics as well as research on students’ developing sense of engineering ethics often emphasizethe micro-ethics of research, mentoring, and publications. In comparison, research is limited onhow future engineers understand the social, ethical, environmental, economic, and politicalimpact of their scientific and technological contributions. In this manuscript, we present 2 case-study accounts of how future engineers think about an engineer’s responsibility towards thesocial and global impact
