American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Identifying Core Engineering Virtues: Relating competency and virtueto professional codes of ethicsAbstractThis work focuses on a single question: “Which virtues ought to be emphasized in the formationof engineering and computing professionals?” The authors assume that the ethical codesproposed and maintained by various engineering and computing (E/C) professional bodiesrepresent reasonable assertions as to the types of ethical considerations expected of E/Cprofessionals. It then attempts to bridge what the profession(s) assert to be good (e.g., within thevarious codes of ethics) to observable virtues/dispositions that can be connected to studentformation. This

For exampleTELPhE, which was originally focused on technological literacy, received a remit in philosophy,which intersects with other divisions’ areas, such as ethics and liberal education.The fundamental questions facing ASEE and its divisions are: is its primary function to hold anannual conference and publish journals? If so, is this enough to sustain and grow membership?Or is ASEE’s purpose to promote research in engineering education that will have a broadersocietal impact? These considerations also apply to TELPhE, which must determine if it ismerely an internal discussion forum or if it should actively promote technological citizenship andengage in public discourse.For both ASEE and TELPhE, the challenge lies in adapting

It may beassumed that these can be safely left to the lawyers, government, and by no means least,parents. Questions of child suicide, for example, allegedly caused by social media, and othersimilar behavioural problems have not been matters for TELPhE or ASEE although they havea powerful impact on the mind. That is, before matters of the ethics of design of such systemsare considered. My friends in the Ethics Division will forgive me if I say this is not just amatter for them or TELPhE but ASEE as whole.

Addressing ethical considerations in the creation andapplication of AI tools in education is, of course, crucial. The findings of the Chegg pollhighlight the necessity for universities/colleges to have open policies that instruct students on theresponsible and productive use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom.A study by MIT researchers examined the productivity effects of generative AI technology in thecontext of mid-level professional writing tasks [3].

Below are presented some of the findings: • Males generally cheat more, though the difference was reported as diminishing over time • Lower G.P.A. students cheat more • Business major students cheat more than others • Personal moral/ethical guidelines affect cheating propensity and feelings about cheating • More surveillance corresponded with less cheating • Observing others cheating, knowing friends who cheat, and sitting next to

Deliberating Public Welfare in Engineering – The Capability ApproachAbstractThis paper addresses the theme of “the Moral and Ethical Responsibility of Engineers andEngineering”, particularly responding to the question of how to define or deliberate the meaningof ‘public welfare’ and ‘common good’ in engineering degree programs. Drawing from decadesof international work on human development, particularly in the global south, this paper reportson adapting the capability approach to an engineering degree program. Developed by AmartyaSen, the capability approach sought to replace GDP-based models of welfare economics byframing the goal of development as enabling individuals to live a life they value.

But, this seems to be one of manyaspects of the social media that need to be controlled, so many people think. Each of usmakes an ethical judgement in response to the problem. Medical doctors come face to facewith the study of medical ethics during their training since they have to make life and deathdecisions. Engineers will have been told about their codes of practice. By and large, however,a curriculum that is focused on preparation for work gives little attention to ethics, which isnot perhaps surprising in a world that Hamilton-Paterson thinks has little or no conception

[8]” Comparison to objective b from the a-k criteria shows that a major componentwas added to this outcome – that students must demonstrate engineering judgement in drawingconclusions for experiments. This is significant due to the strong emphasis placed on engineeringjudgement by working engineers who cite such judgements as the ultimate guide to designdecisions [9]. The inclusion of engineering judgement in this student outcome, and nowhere elseexplicitly in the outcomes (except for possibly a reference to judgement in outcome 4 whichdeals with ethics) gives an indication of ABET’s views about the purpose of laboratories asgoing beyond practical necessities.
