Engineering Ethics

, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across

students. To meet the problems of tomorrow, civil engineers need to be creative, be able to think critically and have analytical thinking skills. …the ability to create/innovate -- to try to do what has not been done -- is at the heart of engineering, whether one is involved in practice or academia. From Day 1 of their formal education, the CE student should see the value of and learn how to have to develop a problem- solving and creative/innovation mind set. Consider a creativity/innovation outcome and/or a creativity/innovation thread throughout the rubric. Creativity and innovation is creating the technologies that underlie the infrastructure of tomorrow. There will be innovation in infrastructure, the question is how big of a

they are not in a position to make design or implementation decisions thatcould have the sort of monumental effects illustrated in textbook cases. With this in mind, it isunsurprising that students sometimes protest that engineering ethics courses are a distractionfrom their priority to improve technical skills because they believe — for better or worse — thatit is those technical skills alone which will make them employable and make them a successfulengineer ​[9]​.Finally, it is common to find that engineering ethics is concentrated in a single course at thesophomore level in an otherwise very tightly packed technical curriculum. While other facultyare not officially discouraged from incorporating ethics into their curricula, the fact that3

Other students specifiedan interest in mechanical things, building things, 3D modeling, manufacturing, robotics or beinga visual person. A few had specific career goals in mind, such as working in the theme parkindustry or being an aerodynamics engineer at Tesla. The majority of reasons were vague,implying that either students enter mechanical engineering without a clear understanding of whatmechanical engineers actually do, or students do not know what they want to do and so choose amajor that affords diverse career opportunities.The students were asked what industries they thought mechanical engineers worked in prior totaking this course.

This type of change in both the CE andArchitecture student group compared to CET students’ perceptions shows a convergence inthoughts between the two disciplines after working for 3 months collaboratively. Anotherinteresting change was how after 50% of the CET students thought that both Civil Engineers andArchitects worked for them, all changed their perceptions that they didn’t (drop from 50% to 0%).This was the same change observed for the Architecture students who thought the same aboutconstruction engineers, and all changed their mind (50% to 0%).
