Implementation Of Ethics Education Throughout An Engineering College

Situation Critical: Critical Theory and Critical Thinking in Engineering Education [Career Advisor]

“…Critical thinking in engineering education occurs mostly in a focused context, directed toward fulfilling one of several ABET learning outcomes. Reviewing the literature, one finds discussions of critical thinking in the contexts of problem solving [1]- [3], conducting experiments [4], [5], ethical decisionmaking [6], [7], open-ended design [8], [9], and assessing the social impacts of technology [10]. In this work, critical thinking is applied within these focused elements of engineering but not about engineering itself.…”

Integrating Ethics In Engineering Education Utilizing A Psychological Model

“…This has led to great diversity in how institutions approach the task of teaching ethics to undergraduate engineering students. 4,5,6 Some curriculums require general ethics courses from philosophical or religious perspectives; others integrate ethics in existing engineering courses. While there is a standard focus and content for engineering courses (e.g., thermodynamics and hydrology) there is no standard curriculum for an engineering ethics course and it is often quite difficult for engineering educators who are focused on course content.…”
