AB  -         Using a Phenomenological Approach to Teach Engineering Ethics in                        a First-year Engineering CourseAt ___University, a phenomenological approach has been used to teach engineering ethics in a 1credit semester long course taken primarily by 3rd and 4th year students for the past two years. Inthis course students examine what it is to be an ethical engineer through a series of readingsabout ethical engineers, studies of exemplary engineers and other persons of high ethicalintegrity, personal interviews with engineers, and their personal reflection about their owncharacter and values. From these experiences, students begin to encounter the “essence” of anethical engineer. They were asked to experience, as much as possible in a classroom setting, thephenomenon of being an ethical engineer. Pre- and post-test results of the Defining Issues Test-2(DIT-2, a validated and nationally used test of ethical reasoning developed by the Office for theStudy of Ethical Development at the University of Alabama) indicate that students in this courseimproved their ethical reasoning by 23% (N2 scale) and by 18.8% (P scale).Engineering Ethics is a topic that is covered in the common First-Year Engineering courses at______ University. In the past, this topic has been approached through the analyses of casestudies using prescribed strategies to solve an ethical dilemma. A new ethics module has beendeveloped that uses a modification of the phenomenological approach described above. A pilottest will be used to compare our current ethics analysis method and the phenomenologicalapproach. Both approaches will be evaluated using pre- and post-tests of the DIT-2. If the pilotcourse results are confirmed, a phenomenological approach to teaching engineering ethics maybecome standard, not only for first-year engineering students taking Engineering Fundamentalsat ___________ University, but for students at all levels in all engineering fields.
