educators have been challenged with the difficult task ofpreparing professionals who are technically competent and ethically aware, one of the first stepsin ethics education.1The need to integrate ethics into an engineering curriculum is well documented. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has incorporated “anunderstanding of professional and ethical responsibility” as part of the general criteria forevaluating undergraduate engineering curriculum.2 The ASEE website also states that “becauseengineering has a large and growing impact on society, engineers must be equipped by theireducation to fulfill their ethical obligations to the public at large, to their profession, and to theirclients and employers.”3 This has led to

given women’s different rates of enrollment between, forexample, computer (11.3% women) and environmental (45.2% women) engineering.Outside of engineering, women tend to be overrepresented in communal or “helping” fields, suchas work perceived to be care-related in education (e.g. preschool teaching) and health care (e.g.nursing)13. The same process may be occurring within engineering itself. Disciplines such asBME and ENV are framed with a “concrete and explicit intention to help -- rather than simply toadvance knowledge or technology”14. While not necessarily more helpful than other disciplinesin actual outputs, these newer and interdisciplinary specializations are presented as being tieddirectly to health and environmental benefits that can
