of Louisville, where case studies are used in a first year course titled Introductionto Engineering.Case studies require students to synthesize the facts and engineering principles they havelearned, and combine them with their broader education in the arts, humanities, and sciences.Case studies tie together technical, ethical, and procedural aspects of engineering and requirestudents to undertake higher order thinking in order to synthesize the relevant issues. As a result,the case studies integrate ethics and procedural/professional issues into courses. In the case of afirst year course, case studies introduce the engineering profession.Case studies used in this first year course have included some basic design case studies regardinglocal

In 2001 the MET programresponded to employer expectations by developing a new course, MET 100 Introduction toMechanical Engineering Technology. This course gives first semester students opportunities tolearn teamwork and professionalism skills they can apply in internships and in their careers.

These include: written and oral communication aptitude, marketing-relatedknowledge, and familiarity with business and financial matters. Above all, Hissey points out thatthe higher level traits of identifying corporate/societal necessities and healthy personal attitudesare missing in working professionals. The academic organizations

ethics emphasize theresponsibility of engineers to consider the “safety, health, and welfare of the public” [2,3].Regulations, standards, laboratory practices, etc. reflect the importance of safety in engineeringwork. Also, the negative consequences associated with safety-related failures such as accidentsand product defects make such issues a priority for industry. Creating a safety culture isdifficult. It involves the performance of proper actions and the avoidance of improper actions.Any definition of safety must specify what is considered proper, what is considered improper,and what is an acceptable degree of risk.In engineering education, practical safety concerns are necessarily part of laboratory courses andsafety concepts are often

contradictions that arise in students’education surrounding ethics, including how engineering instructors often allude to theimportance of ethics in engineering practice but then avoid explicit discussion of ethical mattersthat arise in the context of students’ coursework. This type of contradiction served as a catalystfor our thinking about some of the other ways in which engineering students receive and copewith conflicting messaging across their educational experience, especially where implicitpractices regularly contravene explicit messages. As with the hidden curriculum scholarship inengineering education generally, we are interested in how implicit messaging undermines effortsto create more inclusive, more authentic educational experiences

Bielefeldt interviewed 1,268faculty who embed ethics and societal impact issues in their classes and found that 27% of thesurveyed faculty integrate social justice/poverty topics into their teaching [8]. The facultyinterviewed believed that teaching social justice topics was insufficient in their programs,although no broad consensus exists on what level would be sufficient.In general, the literature demonstrate that two primary approaches have been used to integratesocial justice into the engineering curricula: one approach dedicates a single course that focuseson teaching engineering ethics
