Journal ArticleThe Ethics of Engineering Ethics Education in advance: Curriculum Design, Ethics Pedagogies, and the Moral Responsibilities of Ethics EducatorsZhu, Qin; Kim, Dayoung; Snieder, RoelPhilosophy_Documentation_CenterIn this paper, we argue that engineering ethics education does have moral implications. More specifically, practices in engineering ethics education can lead to negative moral consequences if not conducted appropriately. Engineering ethics educators are often passionate about teaching students ways to examine the ethical implications of engineering and technology. However, ethics educators may overlook the moral significance of their instructional classroom practices. In this paper, we discuss two issues: First, we discuss the moral impacts of ethics curriculum and pedagogies on students’ learning experiences. Then we discuss the professional responsibilities of educators who are involved in designing ethics learning experiences for engineering students. The reflections presented in this paper will serve as catalysts for more comprehensive discussions regarding the impact of engineering ethics education on the ethical development of engineering students.Teaching Ethics2024-04-0910515045Teaching Ethics1544-4031https://doi.org/10.5840/tej2024481452316634; 2521831Engineering Ethics EducationEthics CurriculumEthics PedagogiesProfessional Ethics of Ethics EducatorsCultural Foundations of Engineering EthicsNational Science Foundation
