emphasizesthe centrality of emotion to moral choice. In this paper we present the preliminary results of ourproject funded by the National Science Foundation Ethics Education in Science and Engineeringprogram. Our project aims to develop effective pedagogical practices that incorporate theemotions into engineering ethics curricula. We synthesize findings from the philosophy ofemotion, science and engineering ethics, engineering studies, and education research to arguethat emotions offer an entry point to ethics that engages students’ preconceptions. Pedagogicalresearch across the curricula shows the necessity of addressing the preconceptions that studentshold. We argue that ethics instruction should begin by engaging students’ preconceptions

. Common examples of this shift include: students increasingly treated likeconsumers; a growing number of universities run by former business presidents and CEOs; thegrowth of the for-profit college sector; faculty members encouraged to translate their researchinto private business ventures; and departments that vie for research funding dollars andpublications. Researchers have coined the term “academic capitalism” to characterize some ofthese phenomena, emphasizing the notion of universities and their constituent componentsfunctioning like businesses. Books like University, Inc., Universities in the Marketplace, and TheLost Soul of Higher Education chronicle this same movement by expounding upon the myriadways the transformation process has
