ethical skills to make decisions that affect the overall welfareof the public [1]. Historically, ethics education has not been implemented into engineeringcurriculum, but recently, there has been a greater emphasis on including ethics education intostandard engineering curriculum [2]. Many argue that engineers need to not only have the skillsto handle technological issues, but also humanistic and social issues as well. While some formsof engineering ethics education have already been implemented, there have been some systemicbarriers, such as disengagement in course material, that cause ethics education to be superficiallyeffective [2]. This brings into question whether ethics education truly improves a student’s moralintuitions, and how ethics

Importantly, although our work extends the conversation,it does not directly address what should be taught in introductory engineering courses.We used syllabi from introductory engineering courses across the US to help understand thelandscape of such courses.

One study focusing on systems engineering used semi-structured interviews with 15 professionals to explore how DEI principles can be embedded ineducation. The value of activities that go beyond technical skills is emphasized, encouragingstudents to reflect on broader social and professional contexts. Students can develop skills torecognize and address biases in engineering practices by allowing them to engage withprofessionals from varied backgrounds.

As it is unrealistic to require all CE engineers to acquire these skills through agraduate program, it is our strong belief that students graduating with a bachelor’s degree need tobe introduced to these concepts during their undergraduate education.
