Session Number ??? The ethics of systems thinking Nathan Harter, Mark Dean, Donna Evanecky Purdue UniversityThe search for a science of management has moved from a Newtonian perspective to a quantumperspective. Margaret Wheatley emphasized this shift in perspective with her prize-winningbook Leadership and the New Science.21 Whereas the Newtonian perspective was reductionist,treating organizations as machines and breaking them conceptually into component parts, thequantum perspective treats organizations holistically. In fact, it treats organizations not only asintegrated systems, but also as participants

An Ethical Puzzle for University Administrators Craig W. Somerton Michigan State UniversityAbstractIt has long been recognized that ethical behavior is an essential element of an engineer.Considerable attention has been given to ethics in engineering education. Some programsinclude a full course in ethics, while others integrate ethical issues throughout their curriculum;but all programs need to create a culture where ethical behavior is prized and unethical behavioris not accepted. This culture must be grounded in the behavior of the faculty and administrators.With rampant student cheating and plagiarism, the faculty and administration must set

Luegenbiehl (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology; Kanazawa Institute of Technology) Over the last several decades, during which courses in engineering ethics have become amore common feature of engineering curricula in the U.S., a standard model for teaching it hasemerged, primarily due to the publication of a number of textbooks with a similar focus.1 The mainfeatures of this model are an emphasis on professional autonomy, use of codes of ethics and moraltheory as the basis for decision-making, and the centrality of the case study approach. In more recent times, a focus on issues in engineering ethics

While the classic approachin professional ethics education makes intensive use of behavioral codes and retrospective casestudies, these approaches are limited in their ability to prepare students for the unfamiliar andforward-looking problems of sustainability. Moreover, the classic read-discuss-writepedagogical strategies typical of the humanities emphasize abstraction and reflection at theexpense of two modes of learning more familiar to many professionals (e.g., engineers andphysical scientists): experimentation and experience.

One of the ways academia has addressed this concern is by teaching values.Especially in K-12 curriculum, "values clarification" has been widely practiced. However,values may be content-less ideas that do not promote virtue, character, or ethical behavior.Perhaps the most common practice in engineering curricula is to either have a course
