Program DescriptionThe Kentucky Council on Higher Education Resolution included an explicit directive to UK,MSU, and PCC to cooperate in developing two new undergraduate engineering programs, one inchemical and one in mechanical engineering. In 1996, the Dean of the UK College ofEngineering, the Dean of the MSU College of Industry and Technology, and the PCC Presidentjointly assembled a team of approximately 20 faculty and staff to develop these two newbaccalaureate programs. This group included a representative from the Kentucky

majority of faculty who teach engineering studentsbelieve that the education of undergraduate and graduate students in either ethics and/or thebroader impacts of technology in their program are inadequate [16]. Topics included andmethods used to teach ethical issues in engineering vary widely [17], but often include codes orrules (85% in [17], 48% in [18]) and case studies (81% in [17], 67% [16]). Service-learningexperiences where engineering students work directly with impacted people and communitiesmay be particularly valuable for the ethical development of students [19, 20]. Emotion has beenfound to be a key element in the success of service-learning [21-23]. There may be a linkbetween the ethics educational outcomes and the emotional

Noble describes howengineers leveraged their societal relationship to technological development and production by“informing their work with the historical imperatives of corporate growth, stability, and control… the engineers, moreover, went a step further to ensure that their technical work meshed withthe imperatives of corporate social relations; rather than restricting their attention to technicalmatters, they consciously undertook to structure the labor force and foster the social habitsdemanded by corporate capitalism” [1].
