What is needed, then, is a shift toward a culturethat prioritizes integrity, teaching, and learning. At our university, we have begun to institute thischange through a comprehensive, education-based approach.Here we are outlining the educational preventative portion of our university’s approach. Thisapproach focuses on increasing the benefits of ethical behavior rather than increasing the cost ofunethical behavior, even though academic dishonesty still receives harsh consequences.Proactive approaches like this one are often more adaptable11 and involve the entire universitycommunity in uniting to form a culture of integrity, teaching

the plight and the future of polar bears. IntroductionA new approach to engineering ethics, one based on the notion of a morally deep world,has been developed and reported.1 The morally deep world was first developed within thecontext of environmental ethics. A key element in its development in environmentalethics is the identification of an integral community. The present work makes the case forextending the identified integral community to include not only the environment but alsoother segments of society which have not been included in engineering ethics cases in thepast. Prior to examining a case study in which the morally deep code will be utilized, abrief review of the philosophical underpinnings of

While engineering is a professionwith a strong ethical dimension, and while we have explicitly stated in our various codesof conduct that we must hold paramount the public safety, there has been until veryrecently no reference to addressing two of the most important issues of our times –poverty and underdevelopment and environmental degradation. It is as if engineering as aprofession is somehow excused from such deliberations or that if we serve our employersfaithfully and professionally, it will somehow all work out in the end. I do not believe itwill somehow

AsBebeau notes, one’s response to an ethical problem partially depends upon how he or sheconceptualizes his or her role.2 For this reason, it is used extensively in the investigation ofprofessional integrity and it has become central to the study of professional ethics in fields suchas medicine, dentistry, law, and social work, and others. Within the last couple of decades, field-specific instruments for inventorying role orientation have been developed for the purpose ofassessing an individual's level of professional integrity as well as for appraising educationalprograms designed to teach professional ethics.For the past two decades there has been considerable scholarly disagreement concerning thenature of a

Research3 indicates that undergraduate engineering students agree that the instructor/institution holds the primary responsibility for defining and limiting acts of academic dishonesty,not the student. Anecdotal evidence1 suggests that faculty may perceive academic dishonesty inthe use of solution manuals

Challenges of the Developing World  Through Service Learning in Ti Peligre, HaitiIntroductionEngineers from across the globe are seeking to develop an international code of ethics1 thatwould hold engineers accountable to a common set of professional ethical standards in aglobalized world2. Development of this global code hinges on unifying individual perspectivesinto a viable and cohesive document that incorporates standards of conduct that every“reasonable person” would agree upon1, 3, 4. These standards could, theoretically, be found in theprocess of consensus through interaction: over time, multinational interactions can lead to aglobal consensus on the principles that should form the basis for an international code of ethics5

They assume that if astudent is at their doorstep, their department or program can provide the best educationalenvironment for the student. Many times this works well, but often the student is placed in asuboptimal environment because the student’s unique characteristics and aspirations are notconsidered in creating the best possible educational program-student match.

Engineering Ethics

Important than Course ContentAbstractIn many academic programs there are times when students fail in their moralresponsibilities and succumb to the easy way out: they cheat. The overwhelmingresponse to such events is assigning a failing grade and making the studentsrepeat the course, or in some cases, dismiss them. What may not happen isremediation of the moral issue leading to a more ethical person. Of course, whatwe want as faculty and engineers is a graduate who has exemplary ethics. Takingthe course over, getting a new grade may do this but are there other ways?This paper is about a real incident and a method of resolving the ethical/moralsituation in favor of the course content. It is about learning what is right bystressing what is wrong and
