on their preconceptions about engineering and about engineering ethics.While many students initially perceive ethics as tangential to their larger education, engagingtheir emotions about this assumption allows for the possibility to reframe ethics as a core part oftheir curriculum.IntroductionEngineering students have identified ethics as central to engineering1 but it often remains at theperiphery of a curriculum that is focused on technical knowledge.2 The challenge is to makeethics explicit and central, especially to advanced students who are in the process of definingtheir societal roles.3 To do this, our approach embraces the interdependency of emotions, values,and ethics and builds on recent research that shows emotions are
