suggest that technical and economic success have driven engineers’ workfor more than a century [1, 2]. Given the power and durability of scientific and market forces inthe United States and Canada, engineers’ associations may implicitly frame “public good” intechnicist and capitalist ways, foregrounding scientific innovation and economic growth as keyprofessional “goods.” Alternately, or maybe simultaneously, they may turn to ethical theoriesgenerated by philosophers and sociologists who have been defining public good for centuries.What does it mean to hold the public paramount and how can we realize this goal with a vagueand largely unenforceable clause?

This paradigm has a historical root in modelingengineering education after traditional sciences that have greater consensus on theories andmethods, with the goal of elevating engineering education practice to “research” that isgeneralizable and transferable [1].

The aim is to generate insights into how students define and apply ethicalreasoning and to identify areas where ethics education may be lacking.The anticipated findings will provide valuable perspectives on doctoral engineeringstudents’ ethical awareness and decision-making. Ultimately, this research seeks tosupport the development of more effective ethics education that fosters a culture ofsocial responsibility, equipping future engineers to make informed and conscientiousdecisions that positively impact society.IntroductionEngineers routinely make decisions that affect public health, safety, and welfare.Accordingly, the profession maintains high ethical expectations.
