working with the community rather than for them.The class project focused on improving sanitation and hygiene problems in rural Indiawas undertaken in groups of three. It then describes the challenges of ensuringparticipation of the students and the community as equal partners and how this wasachieved by including practice of care as a central piece of the course. In addition toreading and discussing literature on care ethics, the students used these concepts to createindividual “care statements” which guided the design process. The paper then describes apreliminary attempt at understanding student engineers’ experiences of engaging withcare as well as their evolving understanding of practicing care in engineering practice.Introduction

There is a growing call to prepare students to considermacroethical issues of importance to engineering practice – ideas such as social responsibility,sustainability, and social justice. These are typically complex ideas that lack consensus. Thispaper presents a case study of a course designed to teach students about macroethical issues.This new

objective of most undergraduate engineering curricula is to prepare students to solvechallenging problems by applying technical knowledge to create original ideas and then turnthose into practical applications. In addition to providing the technical knowledge, it isbecoming progressively important that the engineering education provide students with theleadership tools needed to excel in their professions and to become ethical leaders in anincreasingly complex world. The demand for principled engineering leaders will continue toplay an increasingly vital role in the discovery of new knowledge and technologies that canaddress the complex global problems facing society. This demand amplifies the importance ofintegrating ethical leadership and
