In future projects, having scribe support would be helpful toreduce the number of contact hours needed for the industry representative. One idea would be topair a student with an engineer that is working in industry, have the student do one or a fewworking sessions to discuss a single case and a resulting decision tree, and to then present asummary of the instance and the solution to their peers. This would allow a faculty member togather case studies, would make it easier to find industry contributors due to the decreased timecommitment, and would give engineering students a deeper understanding of at least

This, we posit, is an area that needs redefining, given thatethical decision-making is rarely a linear process with single objective “right” answers and ofteninvolves iterative reasoning and interactive engagement with the problem. As such, we havedeveloped a suite of ethics-driven classroom games that have been implemented and evaluatedacross three universities, engaging over 400 first-year engineering students over the past 3 years.Now in the grant’s final year, we are finishing the design of two of the game-based ethicsinterventions to (1) more accurately align with
