FoundationsQuestionnaire (MFQ) [1] and a novel instrument focused on the intersection of technology andethics developed by faculty at Duke University. With data collected in Fall 2020, we analyzedstudent survey data and found few significant results. In summary, the suite of developedmodules that are embedded into the first-year engineering design course should lead to thedevelopment of an ethical mindset at the outset of students’ engineering education.Overview of Ethics Education in EngineeringDespite a consensus that ethics is an important topic for engineering students, its incorporationinto undergraduate courses remains mixed [2] [3] [4]. Currently, the ABET Student Outcome #4in Criterion 3 requires that graduates have “an ability to recognize ethical and

(Appendices I and II present a very few examples of what the designers do toestablish the design rationale.) Here again the perceived nature and work of technology designplays an important role. For example, when specification sheets become the only thing that anorganization recognizes as the indicators of quality, we observe that non-experts are makingdesign choice decisions that override the designers’ work (thus costing valuable time resource),and that designers are not welcomed to share authority and influence in key decisions (thusmissing critical input): … when the purchasers

What construction techniques and analytical methods were employed? What con
