Mini workshop - Exploration of the ethical development of engineering undergraduates

چکیده
This workshop will be conducted by members of the Exploring Ethical Decision-making in Engineering (E3) Team. The workshop will be an interactive exploration of the meaning of “ethical development” for engineering students. We will introduce participants to a variety of teaching strategies and co-curricular activities that may enhance a students’ ethical development as identified through the Survey of Engineering Ethical Development (SEED) project. The SEED project was a multi-year national holistic assessment of ethics education in engineering that included measurements of a students’ ethical knowledge, ethical reasoning, and ethical behavior. The investigation included 19 diverse partner institutions and over 4000 engineering undergraduates. In addition to the presentation of research results and analysis, the audience will be asked to share personal experiences and discuss strategies for adapting identified best practices in different institutional settings. Finally, breakout groups will identify challenges and opportunities for improving ethical decision-making on a national scale. Index Terms – Assessment, Ethics in Engineering, Ethical Development
