In seven sessions, we examine ethical decision making both at the big E – societalimpact of the profession – level and the little e – individual professional responsibility – level.Instead of the typical ethics gone wrong at the corporate level, often captured in classic casestudies (i.e., Challenger Disaster, VW emissions scandal), we encourage students to bothconsider the grand implications of their responsibility as engineers alongside issues of personalintegrity as an engineering student. Too often, students react to the case studies with criticaljudgment but feel

Husserl sees human acts as products of intentionality and as actsof consciousness in and through a body. Scheler’s ethical vision draws upon Kant’s conceptionof the autonomous person, but seeks to ‘personalize’ Kant by characterizing the person as acreature who engages in acts of love. Stein seeks to understand to understand the meaning of thehuman person through acts of sympathy. This phenomenological tradition then sees persons

One commonapproach is to use case studies.

Exposing students to the importance of ethics via, for example, a lecture on theNSPE Code of Ethics or a reading assignment on plagiarism may accomplish something on itsown, but such relatively low-stakes activities do little to put students in the position ofcontemplating and then making ethics-related decisions – they do little, in other words, to bringthe subject to life for students.One simple way to engage students more fully in the experience of professional ethics is the useof case studies
