Engineering Ethics

lack of a consistent and coherent ethical reasoning approach that is suitablefor responding to ethical issues that pervade engineering practice. We argue that reflexiveprinciplism (RP) as an applicable ethical reasoning approach, a view we have elucidated inearlier work8. Furthermore, we posit that in order for this principlist approach to becomereflexive for engineers, engineering educators need an integrated and facile pedagogicalframework that can be engaged repeatedly at various locations in an engineering curriculum. Inthis paper, we describe the characteristics and the efficacy of such an integrated model forenhancing the ethical reasoning of engineers: the SIRA framework. The core elements of thisinnovative approach are discussed

business students are both attracted to and motivated byentrepreneurial learning opportunities very early in their college careers.IntroductionThere is ongoing discussion among engineering educators regarding whether or not engineeringstudents should be exposed to business subjects in order to better prepare them for engineeringcareers.1 And, if so, what would be the best way to integrate such material into the traditionalengineering curriculum? The issue of teaching entrepreneurship (how to start a company) toengineering students is even more complex, since few engineering faculty have had actualstartup experiences and only a small percentage of engineering graduates will go on to start theirown company sometime during their career.And yet

Only one-third of thelessons were found to address the practice of having students ask questions and define problems(SEP-1). In many lessons it was deemed students were either handed a problem to solve or thelesson did not genuinely involve a problem design at all. Lesson ideas that did not integrate SEP-1 included students reading an article and then discussing the social and environmental impact ofthe European Extremely Large Telescope, and having students “create a water filter from every Page 26.1753.8day materials, then write a paper

Such a course will typicallyaddress both nonverbal and verbal communication skills.
