Sixteen questions from the paper (Table 1) were putinto the CPS software and 35 students were surveyed following a discussion of the Enron Page 12.1018.7scandal and its effects on the energy business. Using the responders, I was able to obtainresponses to the 16 questions in five or six minutes and the software provided me with a report of Table 1: Questions for Results Reported in Figure 4 1.

Many engineering programs have turned to STS to provide students withconceptual tool kits to think about engineering problems and solutions in more sophisticatedways. Some programs feature standalone courses on the sociocultural aspects of technology andengineering, often taught by faculty from outside the engineering school. Others incorporate STSmaterial into traditional engineering courses, e.g., by making ethical or societal impactassessments part of capstone projects.

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.
