technology, in a first-year engineering classroom?Research shows that engineering students are most likely to engage in academic dishonesty, withas much as 80% reporting to have cheated at least once. Research also shows that students whoengage in cheating in college are more likely to engage in the violation of professional ethics whenthey enter the workplace. Students nowadays have access to new sets of technological toolsincluding third party problem solving services like Chegg.com (“online tutors”) and extensiveonline availability of materials (including solution manuals) which make it an increasingly difficultand challenging to monitor and restrict cheating.

learn and experience. Similar discrepancies between faculty andstudents have been seen in previous studies of engineering ethics education [6]. In this paper we ask: 1) What methods do teachers choose to use most often in teaching CSR? 2) What methods are most clearly recognized by students and in what courses? 3) Given student and faculty concerns, what are previous pedagogical methods from ethics literature that may be most effective for teaching CSR? CSR is a broad term encompassing the many ways that corporations attempt to accommodate theneed for maximizing profit and taking into account the needs and wellbeing of the community andenvironment [1]. CSR can be used as a method for teaching macroethics to engineering

Using Moral Theories to Help Engineers Make Ethical Decisions William Jordan, Bill Elmore and Stan Napper College of Engineering and Science Louisiana Tech University AbstractThere are a variety of ways engineering ethics can be taught in the university. One commonapproach is to use case studies. Engineers like to think of themselves as practical people, andexamining actual situations appeals to many engineers.In their popular book, Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases1, Harris, Pritchard, and Rabinsuse many real world case studies to illustrate the issues that are faced by engineers.

Moreimportantly, the study explored whether these motivations aligned with teacher’s perceptions ofmotivation, and how these motivations varied based on student demographics. The course isdesigned as a highly interactive seminar-style course that explores all aspects of the engineeringprofession, including engineering disciplines, education, creativity and design process, andengineers’ professional and ethical responsibilities.

In one paper, George Catalano and Caroline Baillie explored the influence thatengineers have on justice and peace, concluding that engineering ethics should be expanded tothe overall social impact a product of engineering creates [8]. Catalano explores this further byexamining engineering ethics as described within different professional engineeringorganizations. He poses that the main issue with engineering ethics is the demand that anengineer should work to protect the public without a specific definition of who that includes.Rather, the author

Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9].

Then, we show the utility of the approach in question to advance importantpedagogical goals related to ethics and
