This document discusses teaching ethics to engineering students at UCL. It provides context about UCL's curriculum structure and efforts to integrate ethics learning outcomes. An ethics toolkit was developed for academics in 2009. Interviews with 13 engineering academics found that while they understand the importance of ethics, teaching it is difficult. They felt ethics should be integrated into existing coursework, like projects and case studies, rather than separate lectures. The toolkit had poor uptake among staff.

Sustaining engineering: Codes of Ethics for the 21st Century
The document discusses proposed additions to engineering codes of ethics regarding sustainability. It presents arguments that sustainability should be integrated as a core principle rather than considered redundant or lesser in value. Specifically, it argues sustainability should be defined in terms of engineered systems and framed as a justice concept to avoid disproportionate impacts on subgroups. Adding sustainability to the paramount clause could expand engineers' commitment to virtues like honesty, trust, and humility needed for social change.
Lay persons grimson murphy-fpet-2010
This document discusses the case for involving lay people in the accreditation of engineering programs. It notes that engineering is like other professions that have faced scandals due to a lack of oversight. The current accreditation criteria focus on technical aspects but lack clarity and input regarding ethics. The document proposes involving experts to strengthen ethics criteria and include ethics experts and lay people on accreditation panels. This would help address issues of trust and ensure engineering considers societal concerns.

Identification and Bridging of Semantic Gaps: The Case of Multidomain Enginee...Philosophy, Engineering & Technology
The document discusses semantic gaps that occur in multi-domain engineering. It defines a semantic gap as a difference in meaning between constructs formed in different representation systems. Three main semantic gaps are identified: between stakeholders and engineers, within a single engineering domain, and between different engineering domains. The document proposes some methods for bridging these gaps, such as finding analogies, visual representations, and increasing shared understanding through documentation in a standardized language like SysML. It also discusses limitations to fully bridging inter-domain understanding.Quantitative Design Tools
This document discusses the use of decision matrices in engineering design. It presents an example matrix comparing 5 options across 5 criteria. The document notes several issues with quantitative design tools, such as challenges in comparing different types of criteria and potential biases introduced. It suggests decision matrices are best used to structure problems, facilitate communication and enhance creativity, rather than calculate a single best solution. The document concludes that matrices should be used cautiously and options/criteria never removed to avoid biases.
An Engineer's Ignorance and How He Knows It
The document discusses the types of ignorance that engineers face. It begins by explaining that ignorance is the starting point for any design problem, as it represents the unknown problem that needs to be solved. The document then examines four types of knowledge for engineers - factual knowledge, theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, and normative knowledge - and their corresponding forms of ignorance. It also discusses how an engineer's ignorance has a typical structure as a knowledge of non-knowledge that leads to a problem and question. The document analyzes different kinds of ignorance engineers face, from classical problems to new challenges in fields like nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology. It concludes that an engineer's ignorance is characterized by a fundamental limit of knowledge and that creative
Value Sensitive Design: Four Challenges
The document discusses four challenges of value sensitive design (VSD): 1) determining what values to include in design, 2) translating values into design requirements, 3) resolving conflicts between values, and 4) verifying that a design embodies intended values. Each challenge raises deeper philosophical issues. The document provides approaches for addressing the challenges, such as constructing a values hierarchy to guide design requirements and using non-optimizing techniques like satisficing when values conflict.
Non-prototypical Engineered Systems
This document discusses sources and types of uncertainty in engineering design. There are two types of uncertainty: aleatory, which involves chance and is not reduced by knowledge, and epistemic, which involves a lack of knowledge and can be reduced. Sources of uncertainty include time, statistical limits, randomness, human error, modeling assumptions, and code complexity. Engineers deal with uncertainty through conservative analysis assumptions, prototyping, quality control, experience, and recognizing the limits of heuristics. Feedback is also important, with non-prototypical systems receiving little feedback during design. Rare but high consequence events are difficult to anticipate.
Philosophy of Structural Building Codes
This document discusses structural building codes and their goals of establishing minimum safety standards, consistency, and reducing uncertainty. It notes that codes aim to strike a balance between explicit requirements, which increase consistency but complexity, and implicit requirements, which allow flexibility but also variability. The document examines different code formats and highlights trends toward more explicit standards in areas like load definitions, resistance calculations, and detailing over time. It concludes that codes need to balance explicit and implicit rules to optimize safety and cost.
Engineering Realism: from a Micro-Meso-Macro Perspective
The document discusses engineering realism from a micro-meso-macro perspective. It argues that engineering reality consists of both material and social realities, and that engineering projects are carried out by engineering communities rather than individuals. It proposes analyzing engineering using a micro-meso-macro framework, where the micro level refers to individuals, the meso level refers to engineering communities, and the macro level refers to societies and humanity. Adopting this framework would provide a new way to study philosophical issues in engineering.
Stories of Engineering
The document discusses a study conducted by Russell Korte that analyzed the narratives of new engineers to gain insight into how they construct their professional identity and understanding of engineering work. Korte interviewed new graduates in their first job and analyzed the stories and accounts they provided related to their professional identity and work experiences. The analysis focused on what narrative elements the engineers included, how they constructed their stories, and why they told their stories in the ways they did.

Integrating Philosophy into the Education of Engineers: Some results from the...Philosophy, Engineering & Technology
The document summarizes the results of a study exploring the philosophical issues concerning engineers in the UK and the progress made in implementing ideas from the study. It discusses the outcomes of a discussion forum and workshop. The forum saw over 350 posts from 60 engineers discussing topics like what is an engineer and the relationship of ethics, art, and science to engineering. The workshop addressed defining philosophy of engineering, integrating it into engineering education, and advancing the field. It provided ideas for content and implementation as well as recommendations like conferences and journals to further the discussion.Engineering as Willing
1. The document discusses the nature of engineering as both a science and an art that involves systematic approaches to both knowing and willing.
2. Engineering involves contingency and intentionality in design due to the use of heuristics and consideration of client values and needs within constraints.
3. The role of engineers goes beyond number-crunching, as interpretation of data and deliberation over solutions within uncertainty is required due to the contingent nature of engineering problems.
How Analytic is Systems Analysis? Ken Archer
This document discusses different types of analysis used in philosophy and technology. Philosophic analysis includes decompositional, transformative, and regressive methods. Technical analysis encompasses post-scientific art, applied science, industrial art, and pre-industrial art. It argues that technology was traditionally distinct from science but is now often viewed as identical to mathematical problem solving based on scientific laws. However, true technical analysis also requires practical knowledge gained from trial and error. A regressive, humanistic approach is needed to account for things' identities and purposes.
Warfare through Robotic Eyes
This document discusses the implications of using robotic technologies in warfare. It summarizes that robotic sensors mediate what operators see on the battlefield and how conflicts are viewed by others. This can introduce "epistemic noise" as data is transmitted and interpreted. While robots may provide a sense of invulnerability for operators, they change how life and death decisions are made and tolerated in war. Robotic technologies also influence how military engagements are seen by both enemies and civilians.
Orchestrators or Facilitators
The document discusses the public's perception of engineers versus how engineers see themselves. It explores whether engineers are seen as "orchestrators" who design complex systems, or "facilitators" who implement practical solutions. The document also examines traditional versus modern views of the engineering profession and whether questions about engineers' roles have already been sufficiently addressed or remain an ongoing philosophical debate.
Challenges in Sustainability Engineering–Design for Whom, How and Why?
Challenges in Sustainability Engineering–Design for Whom, How and Why?Philosophy, Engineering & Technology
This document discusses key challenges and questions to consider in sustainability engineering projects, particularly those done in developing communities. It highlights the importance of understanding who the real owners and beneficiaries of projects are, whose knowledge counts, and how projects are implemented on the ground. It also summarizes some of Anu Ramaswami's university projects in India and Sri Lanka as examples.Beyond Satisficing: Design, Trade Offs and the Rationality of Engineering
Beyond Satisficing: Design, Trade Offs and the Rationality of EngineeringPhilosophy, Engineering & Technology
1. The document discusses the relationship between engineering and science, arguing that they differ in important ways rooted in divisions within Western culture. While science is universal and value-free, engineering involves contingent value judgments and trade-offs.
2. Engineering design incorporates subjective decision-making from managers that shape what problems engineers solve and what solutions are acceptable. Trade-offs are integral to engineering reasoning in a way that they are not for science.
3. Efforts to "rationalize" engineering by making the design process objective overlook the essential role of values, willfulness, and pragmatism in engineering knowledge and practice. Understanding engineering's distinctive rationality is important for effective technology policy.More from Philosophy, Engineering & Technology (17)
