Engineering Ethics

the Boeing Max Air Disaster as A Role-Play Scenario for Teaching Ethical ThinkingIntroductionAlgorithms and software now drive decision-making across a range of domains, and the impact ofalgorithms in the digital future is hard to escape (O'Neil, 2016; Pasquale, 2015). They not onlyshape individual actions but are increasingly embedded into the structure of our society, makingdecisions at scale about who gets a loan, who gets hired or fired from a job, who receives socialservices, who can vote, who goes to prison, for how long, and when they get parole (Brayne, 2017;Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018; Eubanks, 2018).

As such, institutions have become proactive and robust in makingprograms accessible through promotion and marketing activities.Marketing of the study abroad programs have, however, become increasingly commercial. This,in part, further challenges parents and students who are yet to understand the benefits ofinternational education programs [9]. Critics point out that education abroad has become moreentrepreneurial and consumer-oriented [26]. With the consumer mentality, universities generaterevenue from these programs [27] and market study abroad programs appealing to theirconsumers’ gaze (students) that fit the tourist model. In some cases, students often apply theirconsumer lens to assess the educational experience [26

In some cases, faculty stated they do not have their students search forinformation or resources concerning an assignment, but rather gave it to them directly or showedthem exactly how to access it, such as a specific technical standard, for example.Another common response from the faculty members interviewed was acknowledging thatundergraduate students do not read their textbooks and that they are often asked to do a greatdeal of work for each of their classes.
