The mostnoted barrier noted that engineering ethics is typically relegated to the overcrowded first-yearand capstone courses. This is often attributed to the belief that ethics is an “add-on” rather than acore competency of engineering. There is also a dearth of faculty eager to teach or develop newethics-related content.

They found that in order for students toconsider a stakeholder interaction as “useful,” the students would either predefine clear goals forthe interaction, only interact with stakeholders whose expertise closely-aligned to their project, orgive control of the decisions to the stakeholder entirely. Information variability and interpretationand application of that information are a key part of engaging stakeholders that is avoided by thesestrategies.
