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

While engineering programs are required to includeethics content for accreditation, most seem to rely primarily on general education electives,providing only a high-level overview and including the bare minimum in the program core.
