understanding of engineering ethics, it should be woven throughout thecurriculum, included in multiple courses and discussed in terms of real-life scenarios. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires all engineering disciplinesto consider public health and welfare [1]. While ethics lessons within engineering curriculum areimportant for all students, it is possible that some student recognize the social implications of theirwork more than others.In this study, we aim to understand the differences in ethical development among students basedon sociodemographic factors. In April 2020, we deployed a survey to undergraduate students attwo universities to assess ethical development using the Defining Issues Test-2 (DIT-2

A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program
