Although there aremeasures to assess general individual moral reasoning, such as the DIT21, they do not take intoconsideration the context of handling ethical situations in engineering rather than workingthrough ethical situations in general, nor do they address the team climate in which much of thiswork takes place. Because most undergraduates learn to apply ethical reasoning to engineeringthrough design courses that are taught in teams, it is important to understand the impact anddynamics of the team ethical climate.This paper describes our efforts to incorporate qualitative data as a part of the development ofinstruments
