of the inherentlyphilosophical character of engineering, philosophy may actually function as a means to greaterengineering self-understanding. This paper argues that academic programmes could usefullyinclude a module on ‘Philosophy in Engineering’ in the undergraduate engineering curriculum toprovide that enhanced self-understanding, and in turn to relate that understanding to the greatercommunity and contribute therefore to engineers being more accountable to society. The methodused in this paper to characterize engineering is based on the direct use of the activities thatcorrespond to the five classical branches of Philosophy – namely Epistemology, Metaphysics,Ethics, Logic, and Aesthetics. The paper also briefly considers Post-modernism

They include: an ability to apply knowledge ofmathematics, science, and engineering; an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineeringproblems; and an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. In contrast, all threegroups rate a knowledge of contemporary issues at a relatively lower score. The foregoingattributes are among those that have been proposed by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) as criteria that should be satisfied in order to be awarded an accreditedengineering degree.IntroductionOver the years there have been studies conducted by employers and varioustechnical/professional organizations to revise the engineering curriculum to ensure that studentsare prepared for the future

They include environmental engineering, project management/scheduling andestimating, and team work. In addition, undergraduates perceive that their understanding ofhealth and safety issues, and ethical considerations has also been increased at a high percentage.In contrast, graduate students believe that their knowledge of hydraulics/hydrology/waterresources and geotechnical engineering has

Engineering is a profession guided by a code of ethics, yet theincidences of academic dishonesty in engineering students indicate that students are notpracticing the values that, per the code of ethics, practicing engineers ought to uphold. Previousresearch, such as [3], has also shown that there are differences in how cheating is defined, bothwithin a group of students, and when comparing faculty definitions to student definitions.Additionally, ongoing (though yet unpublished) research by the author and a colleague hasshown that student perceptions of and experiences with academic integrity change their first yearof engineering, with more lax definitions of what behaviors constitute

The lack of validated assessment methods for process safety thinking, coupledwith the general lack of authentic situations in which students can make these decisions presentsus with an opportunity to address both points. In this paper, we will discuss both the creation of avirtual process safety environment which attempts to address the authenticity issue, as well as thedevelopment of an assessment tool, the Engineering Process Safety Reasoning Instrument(EPSRI), which is based on previous work in assessing students’ moral and ethical reasoning inan engineering context.Project ObjectivesThis work
