Over the past three years, I have worked with my school and several others both inside and outside of the US in order to research and learn more about Additive Manufacturing and how it is incorporated with the engineering supply chain and design process. This includes working with NYU over the summer as part of their NSF IRES summer research program with students from India to learn how

Nanotechnology is seenas one of these technologically important fields and as noted in Innovate America,“nanotechnology could impact the production of virtually every human-made object.” The NNIcontinues to recognize the importance of education through increased allocations to the NSFbudget. NSF’s budget for education, ethical, legal, and social issues has increased from $29.1million in 2005 to $33.4

majority of faculty who teach engineering studentsbelieve that the education of undergraduate and graduate students in either ethics and/or thebroader impacts of technology in their program are inadequate [16]. Topics included andmethods used to teach ethical issues in engineering vary widely [17], but often include codes orrules (85% in [17], 48% in [18]) and case studies (81% in [17], 67% [16]). Service-learningexperiences where engineering students work directly with impacted people and communitiesmay be particularly valuable for the ethical development of students [19, 20]. Emotion has beenfound to be a key element in the success of service-learning [21-23]. There may be a linkbetween the ethics educational outcomes and the emotional

Noble describes howengineers leveraged their societal relationship to technological development and production by“informing their work with the historical imperatives of corporate growth, stability, and control… the engineers, moreover, went a step further to ensure that their technical work meshed withthe imperatives of corporate social relations; rather than restricting their attention to technicalmatters, they consciously undertook to structure the labor force and foster the social habitsdemanded by corporate capitalism” [1].
