engineering faculty do not accept enoughresponsibility for the teaching of engineering ethics.7 Engineering ethics courses are notmandatory and when offered through engineering schools are integrated through the curriculumin a variety of different forms. While the methods of ethics instruction and assessment are oftenleft to the discretion of the instructor, methods of curricular incorporation are mostly establishedat the institutional level. The predominant methods of curriculum incorporation include: requiredcourses within the discipline, elective courses outside the discipline, across-the-curriculum, andthe linking of ethics with society.8 As Ohland and Barry state: “applied ethics plays a critical rolein engineering, health, business, and law

[7]. Specifically, the engineering essentials course and theintroduction to engineering design course both include ethics [7]. For example, the engineeringessentials course outline states, “[ethical reasoning] is particularly important as the courseencourages students to consider the impacts of engineering decisions.” Macroethical issues suchas sustainability are also evident in many of the PLTW courses. However the level of effectivenessof the ethics content is unclear [11,12].Within the NGSS, “Science and engineering are integrated into science education by raisingengineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at alllevels and by emphasizing the core ideas of engineering design and technology
curriculum. Instead of reforming what students are taught,effective change will result after examining what students learn. It is within this space thathidden curriculum reveals discontinuities and opportunities for improvement since “most of whatis learned- in medical school takes place not within the formal course offerings but withinmedicine’s ‘hidden curriculum’” [4, pp. 403].The parallels between medical and engineering education illustrate the applicability of thisframework in the engineering context. Both are professions that are bound by codes of ethics [7-8]. Medicine and engineering also rely on formal education to acculturate future professionals [9-10]. This process of “socialization and identity formation” is significantly impacted by
focus areas. The expertise areas weredivided in the following categories: 1. Customer needs 2. Concept generation 3. Product reliability 4. Product architecture 5. Product robustness 6. Legal and ethical 7. BudgetingThe above mentioned expertise areas encompass the entire EDM syllabus and include the variousdesign tools and methods covered in class lectures. The main goals for including this approach areas follows: • Students are encouraged to not only grasp the aspects of the entire design cycle in general, but also are exposed to individual responsibility by choosing a focus area, a practice that they would take in working on their design projects. • Teams and their leaders learn the practice of

affective domainwas published in 1964 and focused on students’ attitudes, values, and interests, and how thoseare developed through teaching and learning methods [6]. In the engineering contextspecifically, the affective domain frequently focuses on collaboration, confidence, curiosity,persistence, motivation, and professional ethics [7] [8]. Wilson, in their essay in [4, p. 57], refersto affective outcomes as the “great mediators of engagement”, and argues specifically thatstudents’ sense of belonging and feelings of academic fulfillment can lead to improved academicperformance. Improvements to student affect in the classroom can quickly erode whentransitioning to new environments, like the workplace: “the road of affect is continually in needof

resulted from engineering projects [4, 5].It is clear that what is needed in practice is ethical behavior, and that regulations to policeengineers’ ethical behavior via professional licensure are not sufficient [6]. The first nationalexam required on the path to become a licensed professional engineer (PE), the NCEESFundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE), includes questions that relate to ethics [7]. Prior tobecoming a PE, some states also require exams to test ethics (e.g., [8]) and thirteen states requirecontinuing education in ethics and/or professional practices to maintain PE license [9]1.However, one cannot assume that ethics knowledge will translate into ethical behavior, nor iseither the FE or PE encouraged across all engineering
