Curricula have tended to take an applied and case-based approach,where professional engineering codes and/or philosophical ethical theories are introduced, whichare then used to resolve questions that arise in cases concerning engineering and technology [4],[5]. In recent years, however, there has been a proliferation of novel approaches, as well asdisagreement concerning the form engineering ethics education should take, and criteria fordetermining what would count as success [1], [5]–[7]. In part, this confusion stems fromdisagreements about the goals of ethics

the results should not be overly generalized due to thesmall number of teachers interviewed, the results indicate that many entering college studentsmay already be somewhat familiar with the importance of EESI in engineering. In addition, thefindings dovetail with recent attention on the preparation of K-12 teachers to educate students onengineering [21], indicating that teachers should be aware of the important role of ethics inengineering.AcknowledgmentsThis study was funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1540348.

The students were enrolled inengineering courses with ESI content, and the focus groups included discussion of the specificcourse that was being studied by the research team as a potential exemplar of ESI instruction andof students’ broader exposure to ESI inside and outside the classroom. In all three courses, thestudents were seniors and thus could reflect on their undergraduate experience. The focus groupswere

technical learning [1][2], however in most cases where fiction is used, it supports professional learning in areas likeethics. In this paper, the authors go beyond the presentation of a case study where literature wasused to frame and guide discussions around ethics in an engineering course by coding studentartifacts for values. Specifically, the student engineers participating in a seminar course wererequired to read and reflect in writing on Prey by Michael Crichton [3]. To set the stage for thiscase, some of the moral philosophy arguments around the use of fiction are discussedculminating in the conclusion that fiction is an appropriate tool in the teaching of ethics. Then,we will examine how literature has been broadly used in technical courses

you can build a house so many different ways. So, knowing the right way to do it is often difficult because everyone has their own preference. Each client has their own preference. They all like it a different way, so it’s hard to know where we can allow the client’s preferences take over, or where we put our foot down and say, “No, this is the way it has to be done.” It’s really difficult knowing what to do sometimes.As the preceding account suggests, Beatrice’s remarks reflect an interesting dichotomy. On theone hand, she speaks to her company’s high standards and notes a lack of ethical dilemmas. Onthe other hand, she gives multiple examples where difficult structural design decisions dependheavily on

First, it could bedifficult to motivate students to take the course seriously as it is not one of the primaries in theengineering curriculum. Students will need to be convinced that the course is intended toencourage genuine moral reflection rather than mere recitation. This bottleneck could beovercome by creating an opportunity to exercise and refine students’ critical, moral abilities.

The first element, relationships, highlightsthe status of the oppressed and oppressor in oppression, “institutionalized dominance of one partof humanity by another” [23, p. 41]. There are oppressors who tend to reproduce the status quo,and there are the oppressed, who are target group in institutionalization of discrimination anddominance. Understanding, is the stage in which the oppressed acknowledge the fact that theyare oppressed and critically seek for the causes. As a result of such critical reflection on the stateof oppression, the oppressed may discover who they really are. However, the oppressed need
