introduction, students reading of the scenario, student discussion, postdiscussion analysis and finalizing assessments.Two data collection sessions were conducted for each class, allowing every student to participateas both a discussant and an observer. Each observer was assigned primary responsibility for onlya single dimension of the EPSA Rubric.Based upon student comments compared to previous year’s course evaluations, the instructorshave found that the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios generated more enthusiastic and higherlevel discussion than case studies that focused solely on ethics. An example of theinterdisciplinary nature of the EPSA scenarios is demonstrated in the EPSA “Clean Energy”scenario, shown in Appendix B, which was selected because

This tenet is achieved through interdisciplinary courses,technology development and community activities. Essentially, the education of MIT D-Lab belongs to the category of macro engineeringethics education. Therefore, when summarizing the educational tenets and goals of MIT D-Lab, we can get inspiration from the research results of scholars such as Newberry and Haws.Newberry (2004) condensed these goals into three broad categories; (a) emotionalengagement or wanting to be ethical, (b) intellectual engagement or knowing how to beethical, and (c) particular knowledge or the discipline specific knowledge of

professional responsibility may be tied to: (a) the perceived impact of nuclearengineering (to what one should respond), and (b) the perceived autonomy in making the designdecisions in technology development (whether one can respond). The former requires an effort todevelop well-integrated understanding of the systems - of actors, issues, and causal relations - thathelp visualize and anticipate the impact of design decisions. The latter makes it important forengineering ethics education to build practical skills suited to specific engineering workplaceenvironments.Strong public opinions have always been part of the discourses around nuclear power, and it is notsurprising that the public takes an important part of students’ perceived world of
