Institutional Transformation Approach to STEM Ethics Education: An Exploratory Study of NSF-funded Institutional Transformation Projects IntroductionThere is consensus that the integration of ethics into STEM curricula is critical for cultivatingcultures for ethical practices in STEM research. We argue that the establishment of the Ethicsand Responsible Research (ER2) program, previously known as Cultivating Cultures for EthicalSTEM (CCE-STEM), at NSF was driven by a cultural perspective on ethics education.According to the most recent version of its solicitation, A comprehensive approach to ethical STEM not only influences individual behavior, but it also maintains and fosters an ethical

Student perspectives guide us inimproving the integration of character education within engineering education. Key facets thatare essential to this integration are the project-based learning environment that cuts across thecurriculum from year one to year four and other innovative pedagogies (e.g., use of mastery-based learning approaches, flipped classrooms environments, case-based learning, andcollaborative learning).Table 2 presents some of the engineering courses and their associated primary virtues targeted.Courses with targeted virtues means that engineering faculty took intentional steps to introduceand talk about

Thispaper is part of a larger research project that aims to examine the effects of culture andeducation on ethics training in undergraduate engineering students at universities in theUnited States, China, and the Netherlands. We are interested in how students’ curricular andextra-curricular (e.g., internships, service projects) experiences and training impact theirethical reasoning and moral dispositions, and how this differs cross-culturally.

Responses were compared to a control groupof graduate students who were enrolled in the same department during the same time period whodid not take the class (n=68). The control group placed significantly higher value on technicalexpertise, salaries, and work on projects for perceived job satisfaction, compared to course alumni,who placed greater value on interactions with the people whose lives their work may impact(p<0.001).

The proposed project will build on this lesson in thesciences by demonstrating the value of context-based training. The tech ethics course addresses thelearning of the issues and the question-directed framework. Then the question-directed frameworkis directly applied to the students’ research project, connecting the learning to their professionalpractice.

the teaching of engineering ethics. Despite use of de-sign iteration and trial-and-error in engineering practice and projects, engineering instructionbroadly does not seem to leave much room for failure as part of the learning experience. Inclasses, students can be instructed only on how to find the right answer, and then be pun-ished, through low marks or exclusion from opportunities, for failure. Even in classes thatcultivate intuition, innovation and creativity, there is usually a right answer and thus a spe-cific, predetermined pathway to success that, unlike Elden Ring, does not repeatedly endurefailure. This may be a practical position for more introductory, knowledge and theory basedcourses (although still debatable), but one area that

For many years, these programshave included an engineering ethics course as part of the first-year general education curriculum.Typically, the course covers normative ethical theories, a code of ethics, and three famous casestudies: The Challenger Disaster, SDI: A Violation of Professional Responsibility, and GilbaneGold. Students are assessed based on their report-writing skills, a method that can disadvantageinternational students. Additionally, senior students are expected to evaluate the ethical issues intheir capstone project designs. However, the generic approach to teaching ethics often results inless student engagement and superficial learning [11]. Graduating students are expected topossess in-depth knowledge
