背景增加工程专业学生对公益事业的参与是促进工程师道德责任和提高工程师服务公益能力的核心。然而，在这方面，很少有研究调查学生的经验如何试图增加与公共福利关注的参与。目的/假设本研究通过对两个强调公共福利参与的工程项目的学生经验的研究，确定并分析了努力增加工程专业学生参与其工作的社会和道德影响所面临的挑战。设计/方法我们对工程专业学生进行了访谈（n= 10），26）和民族志观察程序事件，类，演示文稿和社会团体（n= 60）在两个工程项目，重点是参与公共福利和前景学习的社会背景和工程的社会影响。我们分析了这些数据，以确定在哪些领域的学生遇到的挑战，将公共福利的考虑纳入他们的work.ResultsWe发现，四个主要领域的工程专业的学生遇到的困难从事与公共福利的考虑：（a）定义和捍卫自己的身份作为工程师;（B）证明价值的非技术性工作和工程的相关性;（c）重新定义工程专业知识和社区知识整合到项目中;和（d）解决模棱两可的问题和ethics.ConclusionsThis工作有助于知识的障碍，以增加学生的参与与公共福利的问题，即使当程序鼓励这种参与。这些发现与更广泛的努力有关，以增加工程师对道德，社会责任和公共福利的关注。
BackgroundIncreasing engineering students' engagement with public welfare is central to promoting ethical responsibility among engineers and enhancing engineers' capacity to serve the public good. However, little research has investigated how student experience attempts to increase engagement with public welfare concerns.Purpose/HypothesisThis study identifies and analyzes the challenges facing efforts to increase engineering students' engagement with the social and ethical implications of their work through a study of students' experiences at two engineering programs that emphasize public welfare engagement.Design/MethodsWe conducted interviews with engineering students (n= 26) and ethnographic observations of program events, classes, presentations, and social groups (n= 60) at two engineering programs that focus on engagement with public welfare and foreground learning about the social context and social impacts of engineering. We analyzed these data to identify areas in which students experienced challenges integrating considerations of public welfare into their work.ResultsWe found that four main areas where engineering students experienced difficulty engaging with considerations of public welfare: (a) defining and defending their identities as engineers; (b) justifying the value of nontechnical work and relevance to engineering; (c) redefining engineering expertise and integrating community knowledge into projects; and (d) addressing ambiguous questions and ethics.ConclusionsThis work contributes to knowledge about the barriers to increasing students' engagement with issues of public welfare, even when programs encourage such engagement. These findings are relevant to broader efforts to increase concerns for ethics, social responsibility, and public welfare among engineers.
