Contemporary Issues, and d.)Debates. Importantly, the new course motivates students to identify opportunities to voice theirperspectives, but it does not dictate for the students what those perspectives should be.(a) First, students learn fundamentals of deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics to providethem with frameworks for thinking about ethical action and character. This foundation in moralphilosophy is developed further in later senior-level courses as students incorporate ethicalanalysis into their undergraduate theses.(b) Once a student knows what they think is correct

]. Another, theSurvey of Engineering Ethical Development (SEED), measures ethical knowledge (e.g.,knowledge of the NSPE code of ethics) [17]. Other examples include the EERI, the ESIT, DIT-2,and the Survey of Ethical Reasoning (SER) which measure ethical judgment [18]–[21]. Whilethese quantitative measurement instruments can be useful, such measures can be challenging toimplement [13]. Specifically, the measurements are (a) inflexible in that they cannot be adjustedto account for one’s learning context, (b) purely quantitative and thus fail to elicit students’views in their own words, and (c) prime students to focus on certain ideas, thus activating extantschema [22] while foreclosing other possible responses.

While all eight professional organizations wove socialgood into their messaging systems, they did so in ways that characterised public impact as a product of industrialinnovation.
