It postulates a developmental path toward a post-conventional/principled decision-making guided by generally accepted ethical principles and the equal consideration of others inall aspects. In contrast, Gilligan [14] explicates that connectivity and relations with othersemerge as a powerful axis in women’s moral development; integration of responsibility andcare—rather than universalizable ethical guidelines and equal consideration of others—characterizes the first significant transition in women’s developmental process. Feminist scholars attest that knowledge is fundamentally grounded in people’s experience[15]; given that women experience a different lifeworld from that of men, their knowledge andways of knowing also

studentsat the University of Michigan are here because they want to make the world a better place.Subsequently, the module asks students to consider engineering from a number of angles,including perspectives from junior and senior level engineering students that reinforce the socialdimensions of engineering. The module familiarizes students with the ABET criteria and theNSPE code of ethics [13], [15], while highlighting the ways in which these emphasize theimportance of engineers developing in social areas. Upon completing the module, students havebeen confronted with the idea that social engagement and the analysis of the social impacts ofengineering decisions is a core part of what a practicing engineer should do.Design & Decision
