This continuous changefrom traditional ways to using smart technologies such as artificial intelligence, (AI) is what isreferred to as the 4th industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 [1]. Engineering fields used to beisolated from each other and each engineer would only be familiar with a particular engineeringdiscipline, but this has changed over the past two decades [2]; As the current manufacturingenvironment is adapting with industry 4.0, there is a growing need for multidisciplinaryknowledge in different fields of engineering and computing.

To prepare themselves, faculty canvisit some of the many engineering ethics websites, examine engineering ethics textbooks, attendappropriate lectures, even audit an ethics class. The results can be illuminating. This author, forexample, first directly encountered engineering ethics at a 1988 ASEE annual conference thatfeatured Roger Boisjoly from the Challenger disaster as a main speaker.
