Paper ID #30127Conceptualizing a theory of ethical behavior in engineeringMr. Luan Minh Nguyen, Iowa State University Luan M. Nguyen is an MA/Ph.D. student in Anthropology/Civil Engineering, who completed his Master of Science in Biochemistry at Iowa State University and his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at Hartwick College. His first master’s thesis focused on the structural analysis of the schizophrenic gene DISC1 using transmission electron microscopy and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. For his second master’s thesis, he focuses on identifying the individual and institutional factors that contribute
, influence, and interest for an engineering design team, adapted from [9].“Design solutions have costs and effects, some harmful and major if the idea scales or isreplicated. A harm is a loss of something of value. So scrub any unnecessary harms from yourdesign:1. How to avoid harms within the design team: a. Is the design problem clear and are changes cleared with the contractors? b. Do team members have clearly allocated and documented roles & responsibilities, and accountability? c. Can you obtain the resources you need? d. Is the design choice feasible: physically possible, manufacturable, within the team’s technical reach? e. Do you have a plan to address conflict; to give, accept, and address
course, the authors start with a definition of ethics as a set of moral principles and cyberethics as a set of "moral principles relative to IT systems, technologies, and digital media." Wedefine “cyber” as pertaining to cyberspace. We adopt the United States Department of Defensedefinition of cyberspace as A global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent networks of information technology infrastructures and resident data, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers. [23]We build from these definitions as a class by discussing how (a) the acceptable behavior in thereal world is also acceptable in cyberspace, (b) examples

professional responsibility may be tied to: (a) the perceived impact of nuclearengineering (to what one should respond), and (b) the perceived autonomy in making the designdecisions in technology development (whether one can respond). The former requires an effort todevelop well-integrated understanding of the systems - of actors, issues, and causal relations - thathelp visualize and anticipate the impact of design decisions. The latter makes it important forengineering ethics education to build practical skills suited to specific engineering workplaceenvironments.Strong public opinions have always been part of the discourses around nuclear power, and it is notsurprising that the public takes an important part of students’ perceived world of

However, this review lays the foundation for a more rigorous and systematicreview in the future. In the following four sections, we present a summary of our literaturereview and present the following for each of the four selected virtues: (a) definition of the virtue,(b) role of the virtue in engineering education, (c) teaching the virtue in engineering education,and (d) summary paragraph.Critical Thinking: An Intellectual VirtueDefining Critical Thinking as a VirtueCritical thinking represents “the cognitive skills of analysis, interpretation, inference,explanation, evaluation, and of monitoring and correcting one’s own reasoning” [28
Documents Provided by Sample Construction Programs to Fill Gaps Figure 1. Exploratory Sequential Design of this Study [13]Conceptual FrameworkTo move toward an understanding of how ethics is taught in construction education, we need tounderstand the curriculum components. Therefore, we use Eash’s [16] curriculum componentsmodel as a conceptual framework for this research. Eash’s [16] curriculum components include:(a) framework of assumptions about the learner and society; (b) aims and objectives; (c) contentor subject matter with its selection, scope, and sequence; (d) modes of transaction, for example,methodology and learning environments; and (e) evaluation. These components “must all bewell

Most of the other options for the scenarioresponses are regarded either as more passive (tending towards a perspective of “it’s not myproblem”) or more active (taking significantly more action up through whistleblower actions).For Scenario 1 the only other options selected more than once by those taking both classes werea (16%) and h (5%), both more passive actions. For the cohort receiving only traditional ethicsinstruction in the capstone seminar, multiple students chose a (6%), b (9%), d (6%), and e (4%)which include

dataregarding 17 items flagged by the PCFA. Results from this analysis provided a great deal of helpfulinformation about the previous PCFA conducted on EERI service learning data. Supportingevidence was found for several of the PCFA item-specific results. At the same time, the qualitativedata did not provide very clear support of why several other items were flagged by the PCFA. Inaggregate, it is believed that this analysis generated enough insights into the items flagged by thePCFA to make targeted and evidence-based changes to some of the items of the EERI. Thesechanges and their subsequent validity assessments will be the subject of future work. References[1] Odom, P. W., and Zoltowski, C. B (2019
