Empathie perspective-taking is central to human-centered, universal, user-centered, and participatory design approaches, as well as ethical reasoning. Designers and users have significant somatic (sensory, proprioceptive, and kinesthetic) knowledge about problems of technology utilization. However, engineering students are not currently taught to access, understand, or value this somatic knowledge...
The article looks at the historical and social factors that explain why engineering ethics has not been incorporated until recently in the training of engineers in Russia. The paper reports a survey of 240 university students on their attitude towards plagiarism as a professional ethics issue.
Engineering has always had a massive impact on human health and welfare. Unfortunately, the public only realizes the magnitude of this impact when very few engineering disasters occur, like huge oil spells in the sea or the failure of an aero-plane or a building. This is in spite of the plethora of engineering systems working perfectly around the clock to enhance every miniature aspect of public health...
This paper describes a case of study developed in engineering degrees in order to transmit ethical values.
