Session 2561 Training Faculty for Ethics Across the Curriculum Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionEthics has been an important topic for a number of years in many disciplines. With blatantlyunethical and highly publicized situations occurring in major companies, it behooves us morethan ever, as instructors, to make a conscious effort to integrate ethics into all of our courses,regardless of academic area or students’ level of achievement. Some instructors, however, mayfeel that they are not knowledgeable enough in the field of ethics to broach the

Tollner, Professor Driftmier Engineering Center University of Georgia Athens, GA 30602 Ethics is the discipline concerned with the process for deciding what is "goodbehavior" and what is "bad behavior" in particular situations. In other words, what isone's moral obligation in particular instances? How do our values map into behavior inspecific situations? Ethics provide written or spoken standards. The goal is not todefine a "one size fits all

The American consumer began to look to other countries to satisfy their demandsas the label of “Made in America” came to be seen as shorthand for increased cost and lowquality. In embarking on the new product catch up era, many manufacturers chose to terminatetheir technical and middle management employees and adopt “outsourcing” as a way to acquirelabor

There are many approaches as to how to coverethics in an engineering curriculum. Some programs have elected to cover ethics in a requiredthree credit hour lecture course, sometimes taught by a philosophy department instructor.

Whileengineering programs have approached this mandate from a variety of perspectives, adding code-based “ethics components” to existing courses in the curriculum seems to be the most commonstrategy.1The Engineering Division at Lafayette College, a small, undergraduate institution, has chosen toaddress this requirement with a course
