distinct from and, we argue, secondary to how individuals are orientedtoward ethics generally. Frameworks emphasize how individuals value, in terms of the practical rational andmotivational aspects of decision-making, while foundations of ethics emphasize what individuals value, orhow value priorities are structured for each individual. In the context of engineering, you might imagine ascenario where an individual engineer approaches a problem X with a certain implicit value orientation (callit A). A second engineer approaches that same problem X with a different value orientation, B. Aframework-based approach to engineering ethics might help us understand that these two engineers maymake different decisions, but they do not – and cannot – help us

The prototype design developed by the first team is shownin Figure 5a as a three-dimensional (3D) computer model. The design requires a water sourceand water discharge. They also built the prototype (Figure 5b), although they were not able tofully finalize it due to time and cost constraints.(a) (b) (c)Figure 5: Hydroelectric power prototypes: (a) First design 3D model, (b) First design prototypebeing built, and (c) second design piston sealingThe second team, in the following term, made significant changes to the design by enlarging thepipes and implementing new

people have their most innovative output (not creativeanymore) when they are older – in fact when they are more than 40 years old. These specificfindings suggest there are (generationally- and rank-based) workplace realities aroundinnovation that new engineering hires must confront. The current study deepens theinvestigation into innovation by examining it in the context of meaningful work forindividuals just beginning their careers.Our three specific research questions for this study are: A. What does meaningful work look like in the eyes of early career engineers? B. What does meaningful innovative work look like in the eyes of early career engineers? C. How do the personal experiences of innovative work and engineering work compare?To
