Features of a wide view of softwaredevelopment are experiencing software development as a social, rather than a solitary, activity[3], experiencing maintenance of legacy code [3,8], experiencing working on a non-trivial sizedsystem, and developing awareness of the social, cultural, and ethical responsibilities of softwaredevelopers.

. Discussion.The field of engineering education has long focused on instilling a set of core ethicalprinciples in developing engineers28, 29, 30. Guided by the U.S. Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), undergraduate engineering programs aim to helpstudents develop “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”31. Ingeneral, however, engineering ethics have emphasized principles such as accountabilityto the client—defined as the people or organizations who have retained the engineer’sservices, not as the broader public for whom a given product or innovation will result ineither benefit or harm30.

However, there has also beenextensive work on integrating communication skills throughout the engineering curriculum andcourses, and that is the focus of this work [6]–[8]. Engineering faculty generally value written communication skills and recognize that theyhave a role in helping students to develop those skills.

ANT is a greattool to help students consider the importance of non-human actors because modelling and visualrepresentations, which lend themselves to ANT, are “natural for engineering students” (Irish & Romkey,2021, p. 3). Additionally, the authors noticed that ANT creates a roadmap for identifying and addressingquestions about environmental ethics, and how morality should be assigned to non-human actors.Berne (2018) purposefully applied the lenses and language of ANT to teach engineering ethics andelucidate the complexity of inter-relationships between actors inherent in all engineering practice.

Robert Furey sees humilityand pride not as much as opposites, but as necessary complements to each other: “Humility andpride compose a dialectic; each concept gives the other meaning. Without humility, pridebecomes arrogance and conceit. Without pride, humility becomes passivity and complacency.”21Personal humility is important for an engineering professional. We can find expectations forpersonal behavior related to humility in many engineering codes of ethics. For example, mostengineering codes of ethics indicate that engineers must act within their area of competence andhonestly indicate any limitations in their expertise.
