Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZAbstractWith the primary tenant of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) articulatingthat engineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public,” and otherprofessional engineering societies using the same or similar language, engineers need broaderand deeper understanding of moral and ethical theories that can help them understand and makeethically informed decisions about their designs. Ethical understanding is necessary for engineersto determine the appropriateness of pursuing projects and to think through how these are likely tobe used in current systems. From common devices to complex systems, the technology engineersdesign profoundly shape society and change our

Through ournumerous activities using the robotics kits we haveexperienced firsthand how quickly students can learn toassemble and operate this system.A crucial element to the introduction of any technology to theclassroom is the utility of the technology. LEGO™ roboticskits are designed with engineering precision allowing users toquickly and repeatedly build prototypes of projects conceived Figure 8. Freshman Designand designed by students. Added capabilities are gained bycombining the LEGO robotics technology with Vernier sensor technology—facilitating thedesign of experiments
