By divergent thinking Haws means “considering options and impacts beyondthe narrow realm of engineering, engaging in unfettered discourse with non-engineers, andconsidering the ethical perspectives of virtue, right, justice and care, as well as utility.” He alsocategorizes engineering ethics education approaches to meeting these goals as one of sixpossibilities: professional codes, humanist readings, theoretical grounding, ethical heuristics, casestudies, and service learning. We suggest that the use of design norms has the potential, withinthe context of design evaluation, to motivate students to carefully consider the implications oftheir choices for all involved in, or affected by, the design and to justify their choices in more
