) This paper will describe a case study we developed at the University of Virginia for teaching thesocial and ethical dimensions of technology to engineering students. The case study concerns Monsanto’sefforts to be a cutting-edge life-sciences company in agriculture, developing genetically-modified seeds. Inorder to understand the case study, one has to understand the program out of which it emerged.A Graduate Option in Engineering, Ethics and Policy At the University of Virginia, we have created a graduate option in Engineering and Ethics thatlinks the Darden Business School, the Division of Technology, Culture and Communications and theDepartment of Systems Engineering. This engineering graduate option attempts to overcome the

This vision was also recommended in severalreports published by the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation. Andthis was also recognized in the ABET criterion that “graduates must have an ability to use thetechniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.”The first finite element analysis course developed, and offered as an elective, by the MechanicalEngineering Technology department at Oregon Institute of Technology was back in 1992.
