Engineering Ethics

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Design and Assessment of the Social Responsibilities of Researchers Graduate Training Program at the University of Notre DameWhy Social Responsibilities? “Ethics” is, by now, recognized as a necessary and important part of the training of bothundergraduate and graduate engineering students. But the word can mean different things indifferent contexts. While as received from philosophy the term is profoundly broad, coveringeverything from making good decisions to living the good life, when it enters the engineeringeducation context considerations beyond immediate pragmatic concerns tend to fall away.Engineering ethics education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels

social sciences can and will directly impact their lives, bothas an engineering professional and in the ‘pure’ engineering design work.The last pillar of disengagement is the ideology of meritocracy. Meritocracy is “the belief thatsocial advancement structures in the United States are fair and just“ [11]. While several studieshave documented the impact of implicit bias contributing to a structural environment that is notfair or just, if engineering students are presented with these studies straight forth, the conflictbetween the structural impact of bias and engineering culture’s meritocracy can lead students toreject the studies based on identity-protective cognition [3].

The new course, taught within the structure of arequired “Introduction to Engineering” framework, develops a socio-technical concept oftechnology as a system and engineering as a multi-faceted (not strictly technical) activity. Thisfollows from innovations in engineering pedagogy from decades of STS scholarship, and fromthe emerging field of engineering studies scholarship.
