Abstract

The effort to incorporate ethics concepts into engineering curriculum in higher education has increased over the last several years. The Engineering ABET Criteria includes understanding professional and ethical responsibilities. There has been increased funding from the National Science Foundation to develop ethics courses, incorporate ethics modules within existing engineering courses and develop discipline-specific ethics cases. In a search of the ethics literature and the ASEE Engineering Case Program, there were few industrial engineering or engineering management related cases found that could be incorporated as ethics modules across the curriculum. This paper will provide an approach to incorporate ethics cases as modules across an industrial engineering and engineering management curriculum and related courses. This paper describes the proposed project objectives, a methodology for developing engineering ethics modules and engineering conceptbased cases, as well a description of the project deliverables, the approach to disseminate the case modules, and the project evaluation and assessment approach to ensure that the project objectives are successfully met.
