competency gap between engineering education and engineeringpractice remains wide. “While industry continues to be satisfied with the technical and scientificabilities of graduate engineers, they retain a ‘marked lack of satisfaction’ with their non-technicalcapabilities” (Nejad, 2017). Employers expect recent graduates and new hires to be able tocommunicate clearly and professionally and “to develop a productive working environment byparticipating in meetings, communicating through transparency, listening actively, andcommunicating with confidence, while simultaneously treating others with respect and beingnice to others” (Ruff et al, 2015). To highlight even more the communication competenciesexpected of engineers, it is important to understand

Practical Wisdom (phronesis) is the integrated virtue, developed through experience and critical reflection, which enables us to perceive, know, desire and act with good sense. This includes discerning, deliberative action in situations where virtues collide. Flourishing Individuals and Society Figure 1: Adapted from The Jubilee Framework of the Building Blocks of Character [15].In the context of engineering education, a few publications have previously leveraged the JubileeFramework [3], [4], [30] – [31]. These character virtues can be mapped to the seven ABETstudent outcomes further clarifying their applicability in engineering (Table 1). Multiple virtuesmay map to multiple ABET outcomes and there is room

], [12]. This may involve framing ethics education aroundreal-world dilemmas, engagement with communities, personal narratives, or the livedexperiences of professionals [13]-[20].This study builds on the concept of the ‘living library’, a method originally designed tochallenge stereotypes through face-to-face engagement with ‘human books,’ seeking totranslate it within engineering ethics education. The paper reports on the use of living librarysessions in a sociotechnical course on Decisions Under Risk and Uncertainty offered at aDutch technological university. The course featured four guest speakers, who took the role ofstory tellers, sharing their personal trajectories and professional experiences with ethicalengineering and ethical dilemmas
