AB  - Introductory engineering courses teach a range of foundational topics to first-year engineering students. An ethics component is often presented as one of these broad topics, usually through a case study module that examines past catastrophic engineering events. In this Research-to-Practice paper, we present findings from a study using role-play scenarios (RPSs) to teach ethics to first-year engineering students. Role-play discussions serve as a collaborative means for students to discuss and negotiate ethical issues to reach an actionable consensus. We designed a role-play scenario that places students on a university task force that is evaluating the adoption or rejection of facial recognition technologies (FRT) to track and identify the COVID-19 reporting status of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Students were asked to prepare and then participate in role-play discussions which were then assessed for learning. The data supporting this research comes from the role-play discussion transcripts of 86 first-year engineering students who participated in four sections of an undergraduate engineering concepts class during Fall 2020. Our findings show that students successfully identified a breadth of ethical issues, dilemmas, and topics related to the use of FRT on campus. In addition, students employed an ethical reasoning process to create a group consensus with their peers, supporting the overall goal of developing a more situated understanding of ethical decision-making.
