. Discussion.The field of engineering education has long focused on instilling a set of core ethicalprinciples in developing engineers28, 29, 30. Guided by the U.S. Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), undergraduate engineering programs aim to helpstudents develop “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”31. Ingeneral, however, engineering ethics have emphasized principles such as accountabilityto the client—defined as the people or organizations who have retained the engineer’sservices, not as the broader public for whom a given product or innovation will result ineither benefit or harm30. Some have critiqued this approach as insufficient for producingengineers who think critically about the social implications of

” [1].It is up to individual programs how they implement and assess ABET criteria, and manyprograms meet the non-technical criteria through service courses taught by other departments,such as a technical communication course taught by the English department or by specialized butseparate courses such as an engineering-oriented ethics class. However, there has also beenextensive work on integrating communication skills throughout the engineering curriculum andcourses, and that is the focus of this work [6]–[8]. Engineering faculty generally value written communication skills and recognize that theyhave a role in helping students to develop those skills. Many see their role as that of providingopportunities for students to write in their

Addressing ethical considerations in the creation andapplication of AI tools in education is, of course, crucial. The findings of the Chegg pollhighlight the necessity for universities/colleges to have open policies that instruct students on theresponsible and productive use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom.A study by MIT researchers examined the productivity effects of generative AI technology in thecontext of mid-level professional writing tasks [3].

This is critical for building the core competencies needed for the civilengineering profession. However, there are also concerns that this core competency is

ANT is a greattool to help students consider the importance of non-human actors because modelling and visualrepresentations, which lend themselves to ANT, are “natural for engineering students” (Irish & Romkey,2021, p. 3). Additionally, the authors noticed that ANT creates a roadmap for identifying and addressingquestions about environmental ethics, and how morality should be assigned to non-human actors.Berne (2018) purposefully applied the lenses and language of ANT to teach engineering ethics andelucidate the complexity of inter-relationships between actors inherent in all engineering practice.

takingresponsibility for a mistake requires internal fortitude – it takes guts! Robert Furey sees humilityand pride not as much as opposites, but as necessary complements to each other: “Humility andpride compose a dialectic; each concept gives the other meaning. Without humility, pridebecomes arrogance and conceit. Without pride, humility becomes passivity and complacency.”21Personal humility is important for an engineering professional. We can find expectations forpersonal behavior related to humility in many engineering codes of ethics. For example, mostengineering codes of ethics indicate that engineers must act within their area of competence andhonestly indicate any limitations in their expertise.

design thinking is founded on developing empathy is critical: empathy requires a fullunderstanding of the societal context in which all stakeholders operate; empathy is distinctfrom “sympathy” which could yield the problematic “need my help” framing; and empathyhas been shown to be enhanced through the humanities and social sciences [17]. Designprojects in the first year have been shown to develop empathy and to help students developan emotional understanding of stakeholders’ interests [18].

Ethics are important when researching in science because there are things that should not be done. There has to be boundaries for research so that whatever is being researched is used for the right reasons. Atomic technology is a perfect example of a double edged sword. On one hand, atomic energy is clean, medicines using radioactive markers are extremely useful in research, and may be useful in making discoveries in astronomy. However, the original research had a much more violent use. By splitting an atom to create a nuclear chain
