Engineering Ethics

. This training is of substantial benefitfor many problems, often resulting in a straightforward solution. Nevertheless, this preparationalone may not be enough to resolve all issues. Frequently the problems encountered are in a grayarea, without clear-cut answers, requiring engineers to use their best judgment for solution.These types of problems are commonly referred to as ethical challenges. Unfortunately problemsof this nature are often handled with little formal training or guidance leading to improper ordetrimental results. In order to better prepare our students to practice engineering with integrityand honesty a case study approach to engineering ethics has been implemented. It begins with areflective look at the type of decisions

engineers focuses on learning a number of techniques with which theycan mathematically model a number of scenarios and optimize a mathematical function that issubjected to various mathematical constraints. Reality works differently though. Theimplementation of optimization actions in a real context yields direct and indirect impacts tosociety and to individual people. They are further strengthened when projects are implemented orexecuted in international settings, where different systems of laws, regulations, cultures, andvalues play a role. Several examples in the past have shown dramatic consequences for notconsidering ethical implications of engineering decisions in real projects.

Ethics is too-often relegated to a stand-alone course taken late in engineeringprograms, rather than effectively integrated into core coursework [1, 2]. Faculty sometimes haveconcerns that such integration will be challenging for students to manage or might distract themfrom core content. However, ethics-across-the-curriculum helps students understand the linkbetween the engineering work and its positive and negative impacts and also see ethicalconsiderations as part of engineering, rather than an add-on [2, 3].

IntroductionA survey of recent literature in engineering ethics education displays two major trends –references to the ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria and approaches to satisfy it. The EC2000requires for engineers to understand their impact in social contexts both locally and globally byknowing and embracing their ethical responsibility. Thus, recent engineering ethics educationliterature displays the dialogue surrounding its content
