The paper is theresult of early steps in the implementation of a longer-term, NSF-funded research project thatextends the inquiry to the development of students’ understanding of ethics over the entire arc oftheir undergraduate educational experience [1].Our argument unfolds in five steps. In the section that follows this introduction, we situate ourinquiry within the broader field of engineering ethics research, connecting in particular to workon “macroethics” [2] as it intersects with scholarly work in our primary fields of science andtechnology studies (STS) and engineering studies. The next section reviews in greater detail thisproject’s research design

Clemson University, the senior year offers students anopportunity to work with equipment in a laboratory (ME 4440). The material beingdeveloped by CA2VES intends to bridge this gap and provide the students with anintermediate pathway to visualize and understand the fundamental theory. The consultation ofindustry experts in designing university course structure helps to ensure that students areprepared for work assignments after graduation. Most researchers agree that the involvementof industry specialists in setting up and evaluating the university course curriculum isbeneficial.4,5 This can be attributed to the visibility of industry trends and standards by theexternal review boards, thus involving a broad range of stake holders in the course

STEM occupations are both in-demand andhigher-paying [6], and thus represent a notable opportunity to address broader social inequitiesby facilitating greater economic mobility for socially disadvantaged groups. While colleges anduniversities have expressed increasing commitment to EDI in STEM in recent years [7], mostefforts are designed as individual-level STEM intervention programs (SIPs) aimed at “helpingstudents historically underrepresented in STEM to prepare for and graduate from STEMfields”[8, p. 2].
