Education, 2020 Ethics in Undergraduate Construction Curricula: A Two-Stage Exploratory Sequential Approach to Developing and Piloting the HETC SurveyAbstractConstruction and construction related engineering programs (construction engineering and civilengineering) must provide ethics education to students for accreditation; however, there arelimited resources for instructors who teach ethics in these degree programs. This exploratorytwo-stage sequential research study utilizes three of Eash’s five curriculum components (content,modes of transaction, and evaluation) as the conceptual framework to understand the teaching ofethics in construction programs by developing and piloting a survey instrument

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Design and Assessment of the Social Responsibilities of Researchers Graduate Training Program at the University of Notre DameWhy Social Responsibilities? “Ethics” is, by now, recognized as a necessary and important part of the training of bothundergraduate and graduate engineering students. But the word can mean different things indifferent contexts. While as received from philosophy the term is profoundly broad, coveringeverything from making good decisions to living the good life, when it enters the engineeringeducation context considerations beyond immediate pragmatic concerns tend to fall away.Engineering ethics education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels

These students were provided with somewhat different prompts (see Instruments section) but the identical waste electronics article as the other two populations. However, students in this population were not required to use the article in their essays, but were given the freedom to draw on sources most appropriate to their argument as presented in the essay.In this pilot study, ten essays from each student population were randomly selected for analysis.A.

Engineering Ethics

conceived of as much broaderthan merely responsible of professional conduct. The expertise of professional ethicistsarticulates the ways in which ethics is broader and deeper than the mere development ofintuitions, and is thus a necessary component of engineering ethics education. I conclude thatthere is a need for more careful study of the nature and place of ethics – and ethicists – in theteaching and training of graduate students in engineering.Toward that end, the next section of this paper more differentiates between questions about thevalue of ethics and questions about the value of ethicists. Next, I describe the methods of anempirical pilot study before discussing the results of that study. Finally, I draw preliminaryconclusions that are
