The specificresearch questions being explored were: 1. How has the number and type of engineering faculty who are active in LTS changed over time? a. It is hypothesized that given changes in generational values, younger engineering faculty are more likely to embrace LTS.

CarlMitcham suggests the major paradigms of engineering ethics before the end of the World War IIstressed: 1) engineers’ loyalty to their employers and clients; and 2) the efficiency of engineeringwork.5 As science and technology boomed over more than a decade following the end of the war,many engineers became sensitized to the complex role modern technoscience played in postwarsociety and, hence, advocated more stringent professional oversight of technoscientificdevelopments. As engineering historian Matthew Wisnioski notes, “environmental degradation,the Vietnam War, and a host of socio-technical concerns led reformers to pressure theirprofession to honor its social responsibilities.”6 In 1971, a group of engineers who weredetermined to “challenge
