Undergraduate engineering curricula in the U.S. require issues of engineering ethics to be addressed. Engineers and the engineering profession recognize that students need to learn how to use and assess available information in making ethical decisions, and how to test and develop their own perspectives on professional ethics. They need to develop the thought processes necessary to integrate information with acceptable professional "norms" of behavior, to make ethical decisions. Ethics and Values Studies in Science, Technology and Society is supporting several projects to develop and test new curricula and teaching methods. This project will convene a panel of experts to develop a plan for programs and strategies to integrate engineering ethics into engineering curricula. The panel and associated advisors will review materials, programs and strategies and develop a set of recommendations and options by which to further this process. Results will include a final report to NSF discussing next steps, a number of papers to be presented at technical meetings, and a presentation for the annual meeting of the American Society of Engineering Educators and for publication in its journal "Engineering Education". This project addresses an important issue in a unique way. The research team and collaborators are interdisciplinary and well qualified to collaborate. Further effort is likely to continue beyond the duration of this award. The project is designed well; university support is good. An award in the amount of $32,687 is therefore recommended.

美国的本科工程课程要求解决工程伦理问题。 工程师和工程专业人士认识到，学生需要学习如何使用和评估现有信息来做出道德决策，以及如何测试和发展自己对职业道德的看法。 他们需要发展必要的思维过程，将信息与可接受的专业行为“规范”相结合，以做出道德决策。 科学、技术和社会伦理与价值观研究正在支持多个项目，以开发和测试新课程和教学方法。 该项目将召集一个专家小组来制定将工程伦理纳入工程课程的计划和策略。 该小组和相关​​顾问将审查材料、计划和策略，并制定一系列建议和选项来推进这一进程。 结果将包括向美国国家科学基金会提交的讨论后续步骤的最终报告、将在技术会议上发表的一些论文、以及在美国工程教育者协会年会上的演讲并在其期刊《工程教育》上发表。 该项目以独特的方式解决了一个重要问题。 研究团队和合作者是跨学科的，并且具备良好的合作资格。 在该奖项期限结束后，可能还会继续进行进一步的努力。 项目设计良好；大学的支持很好。 因此，建议奖励金额为 32,687 美元。
