Engineering Ethics

understanding that ethics educationcan be improved, several reasons exist for the continued lack of ethical decision-making byengineering students. One reason is that some faculty and students have different perceptions ofwhat current ethics education encompasses. Students report only learning about clear cut casestudies instead of more nuanced ethical dilemmas [7]. Another reason is that current models thatattempt to explain ethical behavior may be overly simplified. Ajzen’s Theory of PlannedBehavior is a predictive model for ethical behavior used in multiple studies regarding academicdishonesty [4],[3],[8]. In the model, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and attitudestowards the desired behavior act as indicators for the behavior in

Nevertheless, such a presentation fails a common engineering test, “Howam I going to use this?”We suggest that the important role of diversification in reducing risk merits coverage inengineering economy courses. Students should consider this in planning their investments forretirement, home purchases, and educating their children. Firms should consider this in selectingprojects for investments. Governments should consider this when promoting economicdevelopment.The material presented here was developed to achieve better results in both our engineering andbusiness classrooms.

In producing descriptions we always rely on criteria of selection and inference.… Even in the most descriptively oriented study the case investigated is not isomorphic with the setting in which it is located.” [10, p. 32]I used ethnographic methods to develop my understanding of the University Dramatic Society.
