Dilemmas of Macroethics: Links between Critical Thinking and Ethical LiteracyAbstractGlobal citizenship requires an understanding of global problems including the many ethicaldilemmas that muddy the waters in search of solutions to these problems. One way of lookingat and assessing a student’s ability to consider and evaluate global ethical issues is byexamining the student’s writing on challenging topics, especially in macroethics where ethicaldilemmas tend to be complex, unstructured, and downright knotty. Some challenges studentsface in analyzing ethical situations may be a result of deficits in underlying skills that preventthe student from comprehensive understanding of the problem at hand. This study explores thepossibility that

The performance criterion is to correctly scribe the six canonsalthough mistakes are allowed if they don’t change the meaning of the canon. The evaluation ofa case study is part of a paper assignment. The performance criterion is to identify correctly allof the ethical infractions described in the paper by comparison with the NSPE code. In the samepaper they are asked to describe a strategy for dealing with the infractions if they were to assumeto role of the supervisor of the perpetrator. Questions on the midterm probe

Define ethics. 2. Define applied ethics. 3. What is the difference between legality and ethics? 4. Can you think of an example that is legal but unethical? 5. Can you think of an example that is illegal but ethical?The preparation questions serve as a warm-up discussion for the students with their peers and theinstructor. The impact of the questions increases when the students are asked to write theiranswers before the discussion and reflect on their responses afterwards.

Students were encouraged todiscuss multiple alternatives to ethical issues and document these in the homework assignments. Students were alsorequired to submit twelve weekly summary memos documenting the weekly readings, class discussions,supplemental readings, and/or video clips. Grading the memos was very time intensive, but did serve to improvestudents’ technical communication skills and helped them to learn how to write more succinctly. Some studentswrote very little and some were far too verbose in their memos; by the end of the semester, most students wereproficient in writing summary memos that were approximately one-half page in length and captured the

. If not handled properly, an assignment like the SIA can be viewed as an exercise inintellectual curiosity and little more. Worse still, it may actually lead to exasperation withattempts to carefully explore ethical obligations in engineering. To be most effective, then, theSIA requires the right setup.We will explore several iterations of the SIA based on different contexts (e.g. use in anengineering writing/communications course, use in an engineering ethics course, and use as astand-alone assignment). We will enumerate what we take to be reasonable goals for the SIAgiven these contexts. These goals will determine how the assignment is to be completed andevaluated. Finally, we will explore the use of the SIA in a K-12 setting. Despite the

indicated they had never encountered any ethical issues at all.When questioned further, it was clear that they considered ethics merely a “set of rules” –do’s and don’ts for specific situations. If they encounter no situation precisely described bythese rules, then no ethical issue existed.Ethics, however, is not a “set of rules”. Ethics is an inquiry into how to create a good life.Thus, ethics is a necessary part of every human decision.How can we convey the importance of ethics to our students?Our approach is based upon a problem involving communication skills. The ability tocommunicate effectively is fundamental and has also been deteriorating amongundergraduates. In response, Drexel University instituted a Writing Intensive (WI)program, by

The standard of “understanding” does notguarantee that the student has internalized these qualities of character and ethical responsibility.One of the primary dilemmas for students choosing to obey (or not) these fundamental cannons isthe possibility of losing their jobs. The motivation of fear of losing a job is a negative motivation.These codes/cannons are a “minimum” list of guidelines to help engineers face challenges in theworkplace. Understanding does not imply that employees will always do the right thing. If thesecannons are part of a personal, internal ethic, then the engineer/computer scientist will be moreinclined to do the right thing for the right

If so, Christianity bears a huge burden of guilt.” 7Environmental writer Aldo Leopold introduced a new approach to ethics. Leopold suggested inhis Sand County Almanac that our interaction with nature should be in terms of what he called a“land ethic,” which he defined in this way: "A thing is right when it tends to preserve theintegrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise." 8The specific terminology and development of deep ecology arose from the writings ofNorwegian philosopher Arne Naess. Naess called his approach “deep ecology” because it dealtwith the deep questions

by Rawls, ethicaltheories that emphasize maximizing goodness (i.e., utilitarianism, which we might argueabounds among engineering) are missing the point. Ethics is primary and the good is secondary;hence, in the Categorical Imperative, individual “good” flows naturally from the imperativerather than vice versa. With that said, I think the Categorical Imperative is presumed to beinherently good and universal. Any descriptions of maximizing “goodness” (i.e., viautilitarianism) are relative to individuals, their social contexts, and their prior experiences andhence, insufficient (or even irrelevant) to ethics. As Sandel writes: For Kant and Rawls, the right is prior to the good. The principles of justice that define our duties and

Students take a course called Professional Practice Issues where about five hours of class time is spent on ethics. One lecture is dedicated to ethics in the Introduction to Civil Engineering course and ethics is incorporated into the capstone course. Some ethical issues are introduced in the capstone course primarily through the use of external guest speakers. We teach a component or module of ethics in the capstone course. In the capstone course, perhaps one to two classes are spent on ethics. Ethics is also covered in the Fundamental of Engineering (FE) review course

Additional analyses willexplore the relations (and potential correlations) between the clustered learner types as informedby survey components, demographic data, religious identity and practice, and results fromstudent writings. We expect that as data collection continues and a larger sample size is obtained,data analysis will be more robust and reveal statistically significant results.
