EthicsIntroductionIt is well accepted by both engineering education practitioners and researchers that developingethical engineers is critical for preparing engineering students to meet the obligations ofprofessional practice upon entering the workforce. Yet despite changing society contexts, and inan era where active changes are being seen in post-secondary engineering students (e.g., Sottileet al., 2021; Sottile, Cruz, & McLain, 2022) engineering ethics education largely looks the sameas it did a generation ago. This paper re-examines the question of engineering ethics educationwith an eye towards evaluating how students and faculty respond to relatively modernengineering ethical situations.Literature ReviewA Case for Case StudiesAs Martin, Conlon, and

Additionally, such interactive teaching strategies can help students retaininformation about advanced and practical concepts. However, in online learning environments,keeping students engaged poses a unique challenge. Unlike in-person classes

The class and campus environment creates an opportunity for faculty to engage in academic activities that can lead to developing professional relationships with students. The small class sizes allow the faculty to know their students on a more personal basis, which can lead to increasing the motivation of students.

As one author describes it, theseapproaches “[allow] students to draw on their own experiences…to create a focal point andmeaning around abstract ethical concepts” [19, p. 1390].While the literature on experiential learning in engineering ethics has grown substantially inrecent years, extensions of this strategy into the realm of engineering leadership education iscomparatively rarer in published research. Our development of The Mystery Lab, therefore,leverages an opportunity to explore how the strengths of an experiential approach to ethicsinstruction can be applied not just to personal decision making, but to the collective behaviors

practices that advantage white men over other social groups continue to persistwithin both academia and engineering [5]. Antiquated ideologies about who belongs inengineering education often persist among faculty and students [6], particularly within PWIsettings, which can result in students of color experiencing marginalization and isolation duringtheir undergraduate careers [7], [8], [9]. Consequently, these students are often retained in theengineering pipeline at disproportionately lower rates than their white peers [1], [10].
