reject thescenario of maintaining the global status quo, what is our ethical responsibility? Do we sacrificeour standard of living and adopt lifestyles that use less energy? Do we replace current energyresources with ones that are renewable? Is it possible to do so and still consume the sameamount of energy? Or do we lead a global effort to develop political, technological, andeconomic strategies to ensure a more equitable energy distribution? Although these questionshave been addressed in a superficial manner, the faculty members would like to devote moretime in class exploring these issues, and they plan to invite guest speakers to talk aboutenvironmental ethics and social justice.

ethicsstatements, engineers identify service to humankind as their greater purpose. In other words,social responsibility lies at the core of the engineering profession. The social responsibility ofengineers is to carefully evaluate the full range of broader impacts of their designs on the health,safety, and welfare of the public environment. Half a century after the creed originated, ourworld is facing irreparable damage and destruction that has direct connections to andrepercussions from the consequences of engineering. More specifically, there was and continuesto be a lack of comprehensive engineering assessment of the societal, ethical, health and safety,environmental, political, and sustainability issues and a lack of systems thinking [9] that can
goodsbecause they are by definition both non-rivalrous and non-excludable. For example, sampleethics lessons from the National Academy of Engineering’s Online Ethics Center(www.onlineethics.org) might constitute a public good because one professor’s use of a samplelesson in their class does not prevent another professor’s use of that same lesson. Similarly, thematerials are publicly available and non-excludable as long as someone has internet access. Openenrollment public universities might also effectively meet these criteria (in relation to the localstates and regions they serve at low or no tuition), as long as the cost of attendance is keptsufficiently low so as not to be a barrier to entry, and education is delivered at such a scale thatnon

engineering education, empathy is increasingly recognized as an important construct inpreparing engineers abilities to respond to 21st century challenges [23]–[25]. Empathy impactscommunication [26], design processes [27], professional success [28], ethics [29], and the overallculture of engineering [24]. In this paper, a framework of empathy developed within theneurosciences is adopted. Decety & Moriguchi [30] neuroscience approach to empathy hasestablished four components of empathy: affective sharing, self-awareness, emotion regulation,perspective taking & mental flexibility. Affective sharing means one can reflect upon the feelingsof another. Self-awareness allows one to distinguish the self from the experience of another.Perspective

leading questions, to separate the chaff from the wheat?(5) If a professional engineer with fire safety expertise was party to the design and construction team would their responsibilities to keeping to a Code of Ethics for Engineers {e.g. the Institution of Civil Engineers [3], or the Institution of Fire Engineers [4]) have made a difference to the nature of the specification of the materials used? Both codes would have required their member to show due regard for the safety of life and health of the public, and for any employee who may be affected by the work for which he/she is responsible. Such a member would not permit the use of a material of a lower specification than that required by the design regulations for a tall
