Wepropose that these voices and perspectives are essential for the development of technically andmorally robust engineering research and practice. In fact, they are the very thing that wouldenable engineering to truly hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public, andrealize philosopher Charles Harris’ proposed ideal of bettering “the material basis of humanwell-being or quality of life.”3This paper engages in a

As Slaton3 describes, materialsstandards and specifications surrounding materials testing after 1900 indirectly denigrated thetechnical capacities of traditional artisans in American building trades; these written instrumentsdid not say explicitly that such artisans were incapable of any particular activity, but conveyedthrough their selection of optimized practices that only the activities of degree holding engineerscould constitute reliable practice. Similarly, engineering codes of ethics connote that only thoseassociated with their use have the potential for proper technical conduct. In the normal conductof engineering business, nobody would expect that a mechanic would or

For example, one student started in mechanical engineeringwhere “a lot of the classes were really just technical and we didn’t go over the ethics of whetheror not this was responsible.” The student described this lack of ethical consideration as his“qualm with the major.” Another student in Capstone Design had a similar experience and noted,“I was aerospace for two years and didn’t hear ethics once.” This perceived disconnectionbetween the material and its application was the primary motivation for switching majors sincehe “wanted to do something where I wasn’t nervous about my

Empathy has beensuggested to play an important role in ethical decision-making processes and ethicaldevelopment of engineering students [25] [26] [27]. This paper contributes to this knowledge byinvestigating whether participation in more organizations enhances students’ ethicaldevelopment. Student organizations are also a way for students to develop social capital [16] [28]. Astudy examining campus organization involvement of international students as a mechanism forsocial capital development suggested that students who participated in major-based organizationshad larger, less dense, more diverse networks that lead to social network, which are

This study attempted todetermine what is student cheating, how often does cheating occur, why do students cheat, andwhat methods can be used to reduce or stop cheating.The PACE-1 Study’s findings included the observation that students were able to rationalizecheating behavior using instructor-based neutralizations such as “the instructor did an inadequatejob” or “the instructor assigned too much material”. This correlated well in the study with thestudents’ belief that it is the instructor’s responsibility to limit cheating and not the students’.This
