Engineering Ethics

ethics, engineers can object to or abstain from a project on moral grounds.If objecting to a project by appeal to one’s professional code is to carry weight, the codemust play a justificatory role in the objection (i.e., it must appeal to one or more of theaxioms listed in the code that the engineer would violate by participating), otherwise theobjection is based on mere private conscience. For instance, in Thiokol’s case, had Lundrefused to change his mind and keep the astronauts’ welfare as his top consideration, hewould have implicitly appealed to Canon I of the ABET code. What sort of a general guide is this, and, more importantly, how does it relate toengineers’ moral choices? An engineer that adheres to her code has good reason to do

Concept mappinghelps students meta-cognitively arrange their understanding of a complex web of ideas. Thishigher level form of thinking is a habit of mind essential to engineers, and as such, it is importantto help students develop this meta-cognitive capacity within the classroom. Concept maps wereused within both pilot courses at two universities during the Fall 2013 school semester. Eachcourse asked students to develop their own concept maps depicting their understanding ofsustainability. Students developed their concept maps once at the beginning of the semester and asecond time at the end

Another 5% wishedthey had created a podcast. Their perceptions of whether or not a podcast is a good medium tolearn technical content did not vary substantially between the beginning and end of the semester.They did indicate, however, that they invested more time creating a podcast (average of 39hours) over writing a paper (31 hours).

be argued that they tend to emphasize therole of ethics in the life of the individual engineer rather than the ethical implications ofengineering as a profession, as a force that shapes and affects society. Given the role oftechnology in the modern world, it is crucial to bear in mind Herkert’s distinction between“microethics” and “macroethics.” [3] Macroethics, as Herkert defines it, is the study of the ethicsof the profession of engineering, of engineers as a whole. It seems self-evident that we mustinclude the macroethical view in ethics education, but this view is difficult to emphasize incertain pedagogical modalities. Many ethics pedagogies focus on the role of the individualengineer, particularly case studies that analyze issues such

Entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) activities, as championed by KEEN,combine problem‑based or project-based learning activities with student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset. For example, these additional skills might include integratinginformation from many sources to gain insight, conveying engineering solutions in economicterms, and identifying unexpected opportunities to create value. EML activities emphasize“discovery, opportunity identification, and value creation with attention given to effectualthinking over causal (predictive) thinking” [10].Within engineering and the KEEN framework in particular, an entrepreneurial mindset is not thesame as entrepreneurship.
