Beyond therhetoric of research productivity, facilitating diversity in engineering programs and professionswould help raise individuals’ ethical awareness and commitment to engineering ethics. Previousstudies confirm that individuals from diverse life experiences and cultural backgrounds offervaried perspectives and help create a fertile ground for deeper reflections and perspectivechanges [2]. Students of color tend to be more aware of ethics and moral principles based ontheir lived experiences with social prejudices and inequity (Thoman et al., 2015). Therefore, theywill likely develop a strong ethical stance that challenges the observed

TheCAER approach differs from the way in which engineering students traditionally engage withtraditional professional ethics based on industry standards, honest reporting of data, cost benefittradeoffs, and analysis of case studies when standards or professional codes of practice wereviolated [39].From the above-described body of literature about work-based forms of experiential learning,self-efficacy, STIR, and anticipatory ethical reasoning, a new conceptual framework forSocioTechnical Learning

the FTX collapse as a case study through which students can deliberate onthese issues.IntroductionWhen I started following the rapid collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange in November2022, I was already considering the possibility of a case study for my engineering students.Students at my institution (and, I suspect, elsewhere) had been enthusiastic about investments incryptocurrency, even forming an official school club. I thought that studying a spectacular failurein crypto might leverage students’ interests in the manner of other case studies in engineeringethics and communication, such as the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle tragedies. I oftendevelop lessons out of such news stories when they lead with an obvious ethical lapse

In other words,the language of RRI assumes a very different kind of relationship between actors than does thelanguage of regulation. An awareness of the power of analogies can heighten our sensibilitiesregarding the linguistic choices we habitually make.Where analogical imagination refers to the context evoked by a particular choice of words,analogical reasoning is a form of critical thinking in which we make an implicit comparisonexplicit and explore how the

Thisknowledge is expressed through practical skills such as hunting, trapping, and gathering, andthrough the values of responsibility and reciprocity. Stewardship in this context means to giveback to nature all that nature gives to us and to take only what we need [29].H. R.

In the dominant culture, the status in community wasacquired by having; in Indigenous communities, status was acquired by giving and sharing
