American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Teaching of Professional Ethics in Engineering DesignAbstractEngineering has a direct impact on humanity and knowing the ethical aspects ofengineering practice becomes essential. The study of ethics makes engineers more empathicand human, and also more aware of their responsibility as engineers. Despite progress in theindustrial ethics program, there still remains a lot to be done in teaching ethics to students.This paper presents the integration of ethical, social and economic considerations indeveloping design solutions to meet human needs.

Students are aware of crises affecting society, such as healthcare disparity and cleanenergy, but few have experience combining engineering and entrepreneurship to address them.This paper presents a one-semester undergraduate college course that, building on three pillars,teaches undergraduate students how to pursue societally significant opportunities. The first pillaris the distinction between tacit and codified knowledge in opportunity recognition. The secondpillar is metacognition to build students’ self-efficacy in the requisite applied and social sciences.The third pillar is the protocol of the federal Small Business Innovation Research program(“America’s Seed Fund”).

]. Table 1summarizes the various reasoning modalities employed in STEM education. Engineering has themost variety of thinking modalities and technology has the least. Creativity and innovation areessential in the engineering design process. Researchers, academics, educators, and engineeringorganizations all agree that further improvement in engineering education is necessary to fostercreativity [e.g., 10; 36]. Such a task appears daunting because instructors usually prefertraditional teaching styles by relying on a didactic approach rather than modern strategies callingfor activity-based methods. Because it is more difficult for STEM pedagogy to master differentthinking strategies in a passive learning environment, student’s STEM learning must

creativity, experience and knowledge to solve problems to help people. Engineers design electric cars, mobile phones, bridges and processes to clean environment and mass transportation systems to move people and goods. Engineers can choose different types of jobs such as design, manufacturing, research, testing or sales etc. A student interested in discovering new knowledge can consider a career in research. If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may interest you. If you like computers, you can be a CAD engineer. If you like laboratory and experiments, you may choose development engineering. Engineering is also organized in traditional fields such a mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical or computer
