Grounded in Pask’s modelof conversation theory, the program engages student peers as well as patent and copyrightexperts in conversations using Web 2.0 technologies to encourage and capture group interactionand build critical thinking skills in the intellectual property domains of U.S. patent and copyrightlaw. Student learning and satisfaction were evaluated using pre- and post-tests, rubric-guidedexpert evaluation of conversation transcripts and problem solutions, focus groups, and feedbackforums, all designed to provide guidance for continuous improvement of course delivery andcontent.

Curricula have tended to take an applied and case-based approach,where professional engineering codes and/or philosophical ethical theories are introduced, whichare then used to resolve questions that arise in cases concerning engineering and technology [4],[5]. In recent years, however, there has been a proliferation of novel approaches, as well asdisagreement concerning the form engineering ethics education should take, and criteria fordetermining what would count as success [1], [5]–[7].
