  • Abstract
    Two concerns dominate engineering ethics pedagogy. The first is that 21st century technologies present daunting ethical questions that require strong engagement with engineering ethics. The second is that engineering students don´t emotionally engage with the study of ethics - in short, they don´t care much about it. Instead, today´s engineering students are confident that technology itself will operate to resolve most ethical questions.
