    Conceptualizing a Theory of Ethical Behavior in Engineering.Luan Minh Nguyen, Cristina Poleacovschi, Kasey M. Faust, Kate Padgett-Walsh, Scott G. Feinstein & Cassandra J. Rutherford - unknown
    Traditional engineering courses typically approach teaching and problem solving by focusing on the physical dimensions of those problems without consideration of dynamic social and ethical dimensions. As such, projects can fail to consider human rights, community questions and concerns, broader impacts upon society, or otherwise result in inequitable outcomes. And, despite the fact that students in engineering receive training on the Professional Code of Ethics for Engineers, to which they are expected to adhere in practice, many students are unable to (...)

    Measuring ethical development of engineering students across universities and class years.Michaela LaPatin, Arkajyoti Roy, Cristina Poleacovschi, Kate Padgett-Walsh, Scott Feinstein, Cassandra Rutherford, Luan Nguyen & Kasey M. Faust - 2023 - International Journal of Ethics Education 8 (1):49-65.
    While the technical aspects of engineering are emphasized in education and industry, the ethical aspects are, in some ways, just as vital. Engineering instructors should teach undergraduates about their ethical responsibilities in the realm of engineering. Students would then be more likely to grasp their responsibilities as professionals. For many students, undergraduate study is a time of growth and change, with their ethical development just beginning to take shape. In this study, we aim to understand the progression of ethical development (...)

    COVID-19 pandemic reveals challenges in engineering ethics education.Luan M. Nguyen, Cristina Poleacovschi, Kasey M. Faust, Kate Padgett-Walsh, Scott G. Feinstein, Bobby Vaziri, Michaela LaPatin & Cassandra J. Rutherford - 2023 - International Journal of Ethics Education 8 (1):99-127.
    Engineering ethics can be divided into three spheres, namely the technical, the professional, and the social. Ideally, engineering students should engage with all three spheres of ethics, but the literature suggests that this might not be the case. How do engineering students engage with the three spheres of engineering ethics during a global pandemic? The COVID-19 pandemic represents a dramatic and ongoing real-world challenge affecting many students personally. This research explores the extent to which engineering students engage with each sphere (...)

    Human Capabilities and the Ethics of Debt.Kate Padgett-Walsh & Justin Lewiston - 2020 - Journal of Value Inquiry 56 (2):1-21.
    To live in human community is, in part, to owe debts to others and to be owed in return. How should we evaluate, normatively, the varied forms, practices, institutions, and relationships of debt? Which should be constrained and which accepted or encouraged? These questions have far-reaching implications given the pervasiveness of debt within human experience. This paper brings the resources of the capabilities approach developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum to bear on normative assessments of debt. Our thesis is (...)
