desire to contribute positively to society and to helpdevelop “cutting edge” technological innovations were common themes that engineeringstudents considered from pre-high school, through high school, to their early college years.Consistent with previous studies [3]-[5], math and science interest, participation in STEM-related activities and clubs/organizations, and career considerations and professionalopportunities contribute to students’ major choice decisions. By examining the influences of student engineering major choice across life stages usingthe life course perspective, we found that the sources of influence can vary across time.

As a framing, ethics in engineering producesspecialized standards, codes, values, perspectives, and problems distinct to engineering thoughtand practice. These form an engineering education discourse with which engineers engage. It isepistemological in its focus, meaning that this framing constructs knowledge of properdisciplinary conduct. On the other hand, engineering in ethics as a framing device insists thatengineering become a specialized articulation of ethical thought and action.
