[4] stated that engineering programs have, “increasingly begun to incorporateservice-learning into their coursework.” ([4] p. 4) The contextualizing of engineering in light ofreal world application, engagement, and service, whereby there is a real partner in the work thatis being done, has been connected to students’ consideration of the real-life complexities thataccompany any engineering challenge. These real-life complexities influence designs,approaches, and dynamics of a task [5]. Additionally, engineering as a field recognizes itscommitment to social responsibility as identified explicitly in their Code of Ethics, “...engineering has a direct and vital

Design of Thermal Systems is a required course for mechanical engineeringsenior students and is offered in every fall semester. The course is similar to Capstone designcourse as it provides culminating experience on design of thermal and energy systems forseniors. The ABET outcomes for the course are  Outcome (a) "an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering"  Outcome (c) "an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability"  Outcome (e) “an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems”Using the ABET outcomes

Communication is emphasized through a group presentation thatrequires the students to research one of the fourteen Grand Challenges10 identified by theNational Academy of Engineers and to present their findings to the class. Ethics is coveredduring a lecture that uses practical examples and role playing to emphasize the challenges inmaking ethical decisions in an engineering context.As mentioned previously, the Engineering

. Dependingon the circumstances, the wise or courageous course of action might approach one of theextremes. Virtues benefit both the individual who possesses them and the society of which thatindividual is a part. Any given social group’s definition of virtue depends on its vision of humanflourishing (eudaimonia in Greek) or what is sometimes called “the good life.” Virtue can onlybe cultivated and recognized within social groups.This conception seems to have been developed in connection with leadership and ethics inbusiness and education—and to engineering ethics, but has not, insofar as I have been able todetermine, been widely applied to engineering leadership development.Why Conformity Is Essential and Can Be Problematic in Engineering

It might be a field I study in grad school  I thought it was very interesting, it taught us more about the ethical side of engineering decisions. Especially the green design section.  I think it is a good idea because as engineers we need to consider how our actions might affect Earth and the generations that come after us.Some examples of more neutral response are shown below:  Unopposed, but it didn’t help the
