Integrating Ethics Across the Civil Engineering Curriculum Cara J. Poor, PhD, PE, Abigail Chase, and Mehmet Inan, PhD, PE Shiley School of Engineering, University of PortlandIntroductionWith the rapid advancement in technology, it is imperative that students think critically aboutethics, particularly for civil engineers that work on public infrastructure and buildings. Therecent failures with Flint, Michigan lead-contaminated drinking water, the pedestrian bridgecollapse in Florida, VW emissions coverup, and others have highlighted the need for students tounderstand the overall implications of their actions or inaction.

fact that the world of sportsprovides for an exciting basis to study multidisciplinary engineering principles and that moststudents can relate to sporting activities in some way or another, either as a participant orspectator. Over 90 million people in the U.S. over the age of 6 are frequent exercisers orparticipants in recreational sports. A clear majority of the population (68% or 170 millionpeople) participated at least once in any of the sports/activities monitored by ASD.[1] Due to thepopularity of sports, studying technology and its effect on sports is a good way to teach basictheories but also a way to allow students to bring their designs to the marketplace. “Studyingsome of the dynamic effects contained in sports, we can introduce all

A National Science Foundation S-STEMgrant allows our Midwestern comprehensive university to award scholarships to cohorts of 23students enrolled in one of the following majors: Mathematics; Computer Science; Biology;Information Technology; Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, and Computer Engineering; andElectronic, Manufacturing, Automotive and Computer Engineering Technology. Scholars canrenew their $5000 scholarships (which provides almost full tuition assistance) for up to a total ofthree

In fact, it reinforces thegoals of accreditation; of the eleven criteria required under ABET Criterion 3, stating therequirements for engineering graduates, IP knowledge would be included in seven, including “anability to design,” “a knowledge of contemporary issues,” and “an understanding of professionaland ethical responsibility.” IP encompasses design and identifies the latest contemporary issuesassociated with engineering. More importantly, it is an engineer’s professional and ethicalresponsibility to research claims prior to publication or use. Also, it the engineering educator’sresponsibility to teach future engineers how to protect his or her rights of creation. For example

Session 1161 Implementation of Ethics Education Throughout an Engineering College Robert H. Wolverton, Janet Bear Wolverton United States Air Force Academy/Oregon Institute of TechnologyI . IntroductionThe engineering community is rediscovering its roots of professionalism. During the past decadeengineering education moved beyond single minded devotion to science and technology byembracing multidisciplinary studies. To complete the transition from engineering scientists backto engineering professionals, education for the next decade is focusing on incorporating ethics andsocial responsibility into the curriculum
that changes are needed in theengineering classrooms, and the need to think about women as a diverse group. Femaleundergraduate engineering students are typically studied with little attention paid to theintersection of race/ethnicity and gender. Some researchers consider this dual minority status tobe a “double-bind 1” while other researchers look at how attributes of certain underrepresentedracial backgrounds offer advantages to female students in Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM) fields 2. Despite continued calls for disaggregated data on race and gender,few datasets have detailed information on student experiences with sufficient representation ofunderrepresented minorities to facilitate statistical analysis 3.Using

McKenna, University of Texas, Austin Bill McKenna received his master’s of mathematics from the University of North Texas about 10 years ago, and, after a brief career in acoustical test enclosures, he is working towards a doctorate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. McKenna’s current research focuses on high school engineering students. In this work, he strives to connect student participation in authentic discourse prac- tices, student understandings of the content under study and the process of effective communication, and the products they are designing. He is also pursuing the relationships between professional engineering practices and the ecology of high school

ecological processes throughout history. We havealtered many aspects of nature. Some believe, or even insist, that nature will restoreitself, if we stop intervening with its processes (List, 1993). Without commonly heldphilosophy and belief systems, society must use various governmental problem solvingmechanisms for consensus development. Values are not necessarily right or wrong.Achieving a consensus requires identifying and balancing values of the group. The growing environmental and societal concern about engineered productscreates a compelling need to consider these factors in the design phase. Direct andindirect impacts of modern technology on environment and human society and qualityof natural resources likewise creates compelling need

the student encounters.Administrative problems can be solved with appropriate levels of funding. To successfully usecommercial tools like the Cadence products, a high-end workstation laboratory with enough seatsto support engineering courses is required. Although it is possible to run these Cadence tools on aSparc II, it is recommended that as least a Sparc 5 is used with 32MB of memory. The laboratorywill require systems administration for maintenance and software upgrades. Cadence providesCNU with regular upgrades as part of our annual agreement which costs $5,000/year.

Beyond that, the student begins to select andjustify answers using values consistent with their professional community.In the context of our Persistence outcome, the student would start at level one andprogress toward level 4. A student who lays in-between level 2 and level 3 would be ourgoal for the typical graduate. Level 2 is a minimal goal for a graduate. Level 4 isaspirational. These levels are:Level 1: Understands that technological change and development have both positive and negative impactsLevel 2: Identifies and evaluates the assumptions made by others in their description of the role and impact of engineering on

See Figure 1. This followed the national norms. In the early1990’s the Ohio State College of Engineering became part of the NSF funded GatewayEngineering Education Coalition. The other members of the Coalition were Drexel University,Columbia University, Cooper Union, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University ofPennsylvania, University of South Carolina, and Florida International University. One focus ofthe Coalition’s efforts was to improve retention to the junior year by using
result, the United States needs to fill this void by importing them from foreign countries. This has the potential of jeopardizing the quality of undergraduate engineering education as well as putting the United States at a technological disadvantage in comparison with other countries. ASEE needs to help promote the importance of graduate level engineering education.I hope that the Society will accept Gerry’s challenge and find multiple opportunities in itsCouncils, Divisions, and meetings to explore, debate, and formulate appropriate actions on thisimportant topic. However, any discussion needs to be well grounded in the data which concernsthis topic. With this end in mind, to stimulate discussion of the trends in

junior engineers’ responsibility to reshape companies’ goals to address environmental and social impacts of their technology/product? - What is your opinion?Several qualitative questions focused on students’ actions. Students in their 1st year were askedquestion 1 but not question 2 because the team assumed they would not have had time toaccumulate enough experiences within the institution at that point. 1. Is there a time when you acted to improve some situation? Please explain. 2. Which projects with a social or environmental aspect have you participated in while at “our school” (in class, in projects)? Please list.Question 1 will not be discussed in this paper because coding of the answers proved verychallenging. In
