Engineering Ethics

beyond ethical reasoning,engineering educators need fundamental knowledge about engineers’ moral formation. Toinvestigate engineers’ moral formation, the first author has begun a dissertation project that hasthree parts. The first part is a mixed-methods study of the influence of organizational culture onthe moral formation of practicing engineers. The second part is a similar mixed-methods study ofengineering students. The third part is an educational intervention whose content will be informedby the results of the first two parts. This work-in-progress paper describes the dissertation project,with specific details about the quantitative phase of the first mixed-methods study.IntroductionAccording to recent research, current engineering

design courses [3]. The Milwaukee Schoolof Engineering BME program has traditionally followed the latter approach. The approach wasefficient, requiring no additional course credits, and it was effective in targeting mature studentswho had some appreciation for the importance of the topics. However, data collected fromstudents through surveys conducted in the design courses and at the time of graduation revealedseveral disadvantages of the approach, including: 1. Coverage of the topics was not always timely in its application to design projects, because projects progress at different paces. 2. Students struggled to remain attentive to lectures that focused on the background and theoretical application of these topics. 3

To ensure cultural and career relevance the design ofthe CR MEAs is driven by societal challenges connected to community issues, to engageunderrepresented minority (URM) middle school students in CR MEAs that will develop theirlevel of community engagement, career exploration, STEM knowledge, and literacy.

This issue has been addressed by a multi-university project funded by the National ScienceFoundation [1]. Tasks accomplished by this coalition during the period 1991 - 1992 include thefollowing: (i) Integration of economic principles in a Thermosystems Design Analysis course, (ii)Development of a economic design simulator for estimating cost to manufacture for various thermalcomponents, (iii) Development of case studies focusing on economic principles in design, and (iv)Development of course materials for a course entitled Economics of
