Effectively Engaging Engineers in Ethical Reasoning about Emerging Technologies: A Cyber-Enabled Framework of Scaffolded, Integrated, and Reflexive Analysis of Cases

Abstract

Her research interests include the dynamics and structures of collaboration, and privacy and gender in sociotechnical environments. Kisselburgh has a background in human performance and computer science, and brings over twenty years professional experience designing and supporting learning environments in academic settings, including 35 computing labs and 2 academic buildings. She is currently co-PI on two active NSF projects, including a Cyberlearning project to develop collaborative design environments for engineers, and an Ethics in Science and Engineering project to develop online course modules to develop moral reasoning abilities in engineers.

Leveraging the Code of Ethics to Practically Promote Ethics During COVID-19

“…Striving to uphold that commitment in today's practice environment is morally distressing and may be one of the contributing factors to why nearly 4 out of 10 nurse leaders are reporting they are not emotionally healthy. 9 Nurse leaders should consider the use of a Reflexive Principlist Decision-Making approach 10 as a framework in steering ethical deliberation (Figure 1). This framework will guide the leader through an ethical challenge with intentional reflection on the principles found within the Code of Ethics for nurses, and apply them to make a decision or take action to ensure an optimal outcome.…”

The Moral Foundations of Chinese Engineering Students: A Preliminary Investigation

“…[72] Exposing students to vivid examples has been shown to increase abilities in ethical reasoning. [76] In addition to case studies on disasters -which comprise the mainstream of engineering ethics -students should also be sensitized to the less obvious ways engineering can have widespread, severe consequences.…”

Using Qualitative Data to Further Examine Flagged Items from the Engineering Ethics Reasoning Instrument (EERI)

“…In contrast, the EERI has been referenced or used on a regular basis since being introduced initially in 2013 [4] and in its current form again in 2014 [8]. Although it has primarily been seen in conference proceedings [1][4] [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], it was recently used in at least one journal publication [18]. Given the EERI's continued use, concern regarding how thoroughly it has been validated has led to recent investigations, such as the PCFA [1] leading to this current follow-up.…”
