survey data will require understanding contextual conditions ofeducation at each institution. Comparative case studies can supply missing contextualinformation to provide a more complete picture of the engineering ethics educationalcontexts, strategies, and practices at each of the participating universities.However, in considering how to design and conduct these case studies, we realized we wereoperating under certain assumptions such as ethics in engineering as separate (and separablefrom) the “real,” or technical engineering curriculum. These assumptions have been widelyproblematized in engineering ethics education (Cech, 2014; Tormey et al. 2015; Polmear etal. 2019); they are assumptions that we in our teaching and research attempt to dispel

their colleagues [22].This present study provides a preliminary exploration of academic culture related to engineeringethics education. The findings point to the tension between the espoused value of ethics and itslimited visibility in the curriculum, the influence of the religious mission of a university, the wayin which the importance of ethics is communicated to students via academic integrity, and therole of formal leaders in supporting ethics educators. The next step in this project is expandingthe analysis to the full set of interviews based on the demonstrated utility of using the academicculture framework. Each transcript in the sub-set indicates different facets of academic culturethat were salient in their unique context; thus

suggests that typically, engineers’ sense of civic responsibility declines over the courseof their engineering education, as studied by Cech 2 . Pierrakos et. al 3 , in their work onreimagining ethics in engineering curricula, acknowledge this culture of disengagement andpiecemeal treatment of ethical roles 4 5 as a driving reason requiring re-engagement. These studiesinspired our work.In this paper, we describe our pan-engineering efforts working with faculty, alumni andundergraduate students from many engineering disciplines to help determine if our understandingof the need to integrate better ethics engagement is echoed by other faculty and students. Thisinvestigation was conducted over several years, in different capacities. The early

is overlooked. Engineers have ethical responsibilities to their employers, their employees, theenvironment, and the entire public. Often, the stakes of engineering projects are extremely highbecause people’s lives depend on their success. The activities of engineers can have great impactson the physical world around them and the beings living in it. Engineers do not exist in a bubble—they “exist and operate as a node in a complex network of mutual relationships with many othernodes” [2]. These complex relationships make it necessary to consider the impacts of decisionsand actions on a range of parties. The purpose of this report is to explore new ethical considerations that have arisen in themanufacturing industry due to the
