alsodeveloped. Overall, the systems developed were shown to be successful in exposing students toethics and improving their knowledge on ethical decision making. To integrate ethics modulesmore thoroughly across the engineering curriculum a systematic approach is required with properaccounting of teaching load for ethics/philosophy faculty who lecture in multiple courses. Forefficiency, an ethics case-study database with assignment/discussion questions should bemaintained, and an online module could be explored with in-class facilitated discussion.References1.

With aclear motivation for increasing engineering student empathic thinking and a multitude ofcontexts where its inclusion in the curriculum would be appropriate it is a wonder that the topicis not identified more broadly as something undergraduate programs might advocate.This paper presents the details from a small empathy lesson and assignment that was delivered tofirst-year students and senior students in an undergraduate engineering program. The lesson wasfocused on the need for mode-switching and practicing empathic responses in an engineeringcontext. The impact of the lesson and assignment were assessed using a survey and analysis ofstudent responses in the assignment.Study

The advanced-level ethical skills helped students approachproblems from various viewpoints and develop arguments to “defend” an ethical stance. TheTAs will now work on incorporation of ethical modules into senior-level coursework to buildupon these skills.

Do we provide our students with a framework to guide how theyorganize and utilize the knowledge they acquire in their undergraduateeducation? I would argue that the true hallmark of a professional is that he orshe possesses intellectual autonomy; while a professional may work with others,he or she must be able to decide for themselves exactly how to apply theory andinformation to solving problems. In engineering education, we need to be surethat our students learn to fish, to think for themselves. Hence, a key task for humanities and social sciences in engineeringeducation is to give students insight into the ways in which knowledge abouttechnology is
