This is exemplified through the videos we havedeveloped, selected readings, discussion prompts, quick checks, and the group case reportprompt. Naturally, many case-specific facts and issues that we do not explicitly prompt arisethrough in-class discussion, the group case reports, and the asynchronous on-line posting whichis driven by student interest.One of the strengths of the pedagogical strategy we utilized is that students must work togetherto justify their responses based off each student’s knowledge and interests, collectively

While the long term goal is to incorporate explicit discussion ofsustainability and environmental impacts, the preliminary results described here demonstrate thatBID holds promise as an approach for improving environmental ethics of engineering students,and further examination of the subject is recommended.

Due to the company's codes of ethics, six categories of unethical IT-related behaviors were defined as a) surfing social media, b) checking personal emails, c)sending organizational documents without authorized tools, d) sharing video or music files inlocal network, e) stockbroking, and f) installing non-job-related software on computers.

The formative assessment of the expertwitness role play approach appears promising, but it did not capture learning outcomes orcomparisons with other approaches to teaching engineering education. Creative professorsshould be able to adopt this technique to teach engineering ethics within a realistic, engaging,and involving way.Bibliography1. Brummel, B. J., Gunsalus, C. K., Anderson, K.

There is aneed to bring together relevant practice, and there is a need to experiment. In terms of theorganization of the curriculum and the need for mixed learning communities the need fordivergent visioning is great.Acknowledgements.I am deeply indebted to Dr Alec Martin who introduced me to the works of John Macmurraywhen he was the responsible official in the UK Employment Department for our project on theanalysis of jobs done by engineers.

engineers work with different types of resources, which exist on a spectrum ofessential/non-essential resources as well as a spectrum of scarcity. Ethical distribution ofresources was also addressed. The discussion prompts and questions for this topic were asfollows: 1. Come up with an example of each of these: a. An essential resource- very important or perhaps even necessary to common ideas about a flourishing life in contemporary society- that engineers might use. b. An inessential resource- perhaps useful or pleasant but unimportant to common ideas about a flourishing life in contemporary society- that engineers might use. c. A resource that engineers might use, that is somewhere in

government the consequences can be detrimental to both the public and the company itself. There are many more concepts not outlined in this paper an engineer must abide by. The NSPE Code of Ethics, IEEE Code ofEthics, and ACM Code of Ethics all outline some of those topics as well as topics that are specific to different industries. These expectations also hold for students and anyone else that is involved with the engineeringworld. Since the development of these Code of Ethics, more schools have adopted and required ethical courses as a countermeasure for unethical decisions made in the workplace and for that I think the future looks a little brighter.
