Originally conceptualized by Rittel & Webber [2], wicked problemsare problems with multiple stakeholders and competing demands, which often contain ethical,social, political, or environmental dimensions. They are challenging to frame and scope, giventhe lack of an obvious “stopping point” when the problem to solution process is complete.Wicked problems reflect pressing societal issues like climate change, transportation and urbandevelopment, healthcare and technological unemployment – problems that frequently engage thetechnical expertise of engineers but require a breadth of disciplinary knowledge outside ofengineering as well, requiring strong collaborative skills and an intellectual

This simple scenario intrigued the following two-prong issues for engineeringeducators: 1) what should be the underpinnings/justification of the decision-making process of anengineer? 2) when and in what context should an engineer learn these decision-makingprocesses? Engineers should anchor their decisions on ethical/moral basis, and learn and practicethese ethical-decision-making skills in their early professional development phase.Undergraduate education is one of the first formal places in the professional development of anengineer. Engineering students would be able to far-transfer ethical decision-making skills intheir industry career if they learn and practice in context. Capstone design
