Engineering Cultures takes a small step in this direction by striving to enable engineeringstudents to understand themselves as holding perspectives by systematically challenging them torecognize and explore perspectives other than their own.The course emerged from a research project sponsored by the Ethics and Values Studies program(now Societal Dimensions of Science and Technology) at the National Science Foundation. Aftercompleting undergraduate degrees in engineering, both authors went on to conduct ethnographicand historical work in the social studies of technology and engineering (e.g., Downey 1998a;Downey and Lucena 1994, 1998; Lucena 1996).

In classroom, fairness isoften viewed as equal work distribution on a specific team project.

This reflection results in modifications to their established meaning perspectivesand the development of new frames of reference through a transformative shift in perspectives[26].A learner’s frame of reference comprises their habits of mind, shaped by life experiences,previous education, personal interests, and social influences [27].

This case study was developed for engineering and construction management students toformulate, discuss, and decide on strategies, actions, and solutions to provide the best value tothe project owner when implementing TVD.

preparingstudents for the complexities of modern engineering roles is an imperative shift recognized acrossacademic and industrial spheres (Queiruga-Dios et al., 2021). This transformation is driven by thegrowing demand for engineers who are not only technically adept but also possess a broadunderstanding of the environmental, societal, and ethical implications of engineering projects (deVere et al., 2009; McGinn, 2018). A key aspect of this educational reform is the emphasis oninterdisciplinary learning and the application of knowledge to real-world problems, fostering ageneration of engineers equipped to tackle global challenges with innovative and sustainablesolutions (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2009; Froyd, Wankat, & Smith, 2012).

In addition to “hard” knowledge, engineersneed to experience and understand “communication, teamwork, and the ability to recognizeand resolve ethical dilemmas.”[1] These skills are powerful when combined with awarenessskills involving “understanding the impact of global and social factors, knowledge ofcontemporary issues, and the ability to do lifelong learning.”[1] What is the most effectiveway of incorporating this into

They claim that: a professor should not have any casualrelationships with students, and such relationships “conflict with our fundamentalobligations as faculty members,(4) and the ethics of the relationship require that thefaculty member remains “dispassionate,” avoiding any appearance of partiality. Thefaculty member should “not seek to be their psychiatrist, friend, or lover.” (5) While someof us may agree about the psychiatrist and lover part, many of us do not agree thatfriendship between students and faculty members has ill effects and should not
