在日益全球化和技术依赖的世界中，评估伦理和社会影响（ESI）是工程的一个组成部分。尽管ESI在工程教育中的重要性得到了公认，并被纳入了认证标准，但学生对这一主题的指导被广泛认为是有缺陷的。本文探讨了向工程和计算机专业学生讲授ESI的教育工作者所面临的一些挑战。在2016年9月至2017年4月期间，通过Skype或电话完成了37次访谈，持续时间为30-70分钟。访谈是为了深入了解教育工作者的教学实践和更广泛的ESI教育视角。参与者被问到：“你在整合这些主题时遇到了什么挑战？”在半结构化的访谈中，关于挑战的讨论也自然而然地出现了。使用紧急的主题编码创建和分析了访谈的内容日志和文本，以确定教师在向工程和计算机专业的学生教授ESI时遇到的挑战。在37次采访中，31次讨论了挑战（或缺乏挑战），并能够被记录下来；这一子集是本文的研究重点。对数据的分析表明，有效教学的障碍可分为五大主题：学生、教师、机构、课程和工程技能。在受访者中，23%的人只遇到了挑战，64%的人同时描述了挑战和支持，13%的人表示没有遇到任何挑战。尽管存在这些障碍，受访者还是表达了将ESI整合到工程教育中的重要性，并列举了在各种环境下使用各种教学方法教授这些主题的例子。对没有察觉到任何重大挑战的教育工作者的访谈数据进行分析，也揭示了促进有效的ESI教学的环境和策略。
Evaluating ethics and societal impacts (ESI) is an integral part of engineering in an increasingly globalized and technology dependent world. Despite the recognized importance of ESI in engineering education and its inclusion in accreditation criteria, students’ instruction on this topic has been widely viewed as deficient. This paper explores some of the challenges that confront educators who teach engineering and computing students about ESI. Between September 2016 and April 2017, 37 interviews were completed via Skype or phone and lasted 30-70 minutes. The interviews were conducted to gain insight into educators’ teaching practices and broader perspectives on ESI education. The participants were asked, “what challenges have you encountered in incorporating these topics?” and discussions of challenges also arose spontaneously throughout the semi-structured interviews. Content logs and transcripts of the interviews were created and analyzed using emergent, thematic coding to identify the challenges that faculty experienced in teaching engineering and computing students about ESI. Of the 37 interviews, 31 discussed challenges (or lack there of) and were able to be transcribed; this sub-set is the focus of the paper. Analysis of the data indicated that barriers to effective instruction fell under five broad themes: students, faculty, institutional, curriculum, and engineering skills. Of the interviewees, 23% encountered only challenges, 64% described both challenges and affordances, and 13% described not encountering any challenges. Despite the obstacles, the interviewees expressed the importance of integrating ESI into engineering education and produced examples of teaching these topics in a range of settings with a variety of pedagogical approaches. Analysis of the interview data from educators who did not perceive any significant challenges also sheds light on the circumstances and strategies that facilitate effective ESI instruction.
