Brummel (The University of Tulsa, USA)Teaching students how to recognize and handle ethical situations is a challenging feat. Lectures and case studies only go so far towards providing students with the tools they will need tofaithfully conduct themselves throughout their career. Experiential role-play simulation serves as a promising auxiliary technique for teaching ethics. For the last seven years, the authors havebeen conducting an interactive ethics training program which involves simulating a litigation experience in which engineering students perform

Labs 1 through 4 are the focus of this project course. The lectures introduce and sup-port these labs. For each lab, students are required to submit a Report Form which requiresan Instructor/TA signiture for each significant step.

It’s time to explicitlyrecognize that what is fundamental to engineering practice goes beyond the scientific,instrumental rationality; to fail to acknowledge this is “just about unethical”.”.21Wendy Faulkner22 observes that “Their educational grounding in mathematics and science allowsengineers to claim an identity in the material and (mostly) predictable phenomena governed bythe 'laws of nature', backed up by a faith in cause-and-effect reasoning. And this same materialityand scientificity enables them to claim, as the central contribution of engineering design, that itcreates technologies that 'do the
