A project team of engineer educators, engineer practitioners, and philosophers with international reputations in engineering ethics creates a video dramatizing a fictional but realistic case study in engineering ethics. This is a sequel Gilbane Gold; a highly successful, award-winning video. This video will help meet the contemporary need for effective instruction in engineering ethics, prompted by recent accreditation requirements for engineering curricula to include aspects of engineering ethics, and by increases in requirements for awareness of professional ethics in the licensing of professional engineers by states' licensing agencies. The video will reach hundreds of thousands of engineering students, practicing engineers, and others who work with engineers. It emphasizes the positive responsibilities of engineers and the resulting benefit to the public, rather than whistle-blowing, which was one aspect of Gilbane Gold. Because of the globalization of the economy, the new video is cast in an international context. The video is done in three versions to enhance its exposure and pedagogical effectiveness: a 20-25 minute "basic" story version along the lines of Gilbane Gold, a "segmented' version that can be viewed in parts, and an "interactive" version on DVD that allows the viewer to observe the consequences of different ethical decisions. The film will improve the ability of students and practicing engineers to: Evaluate alternatives according to basic ethical values and through simple tests Identify and distinguish ethical issues, technical issues, and economic issues Identify affected parties (stakeholders) and their rights and responsibilities Identify social and political constraints on possible solutions Determine whether additional information is needed to make a good decision Formulate alternative courses of action Test the alternatives and imagine possible consequences of those alternatives. Also, the video will help the viewers become more aware that: Ethical considerations are an integral part of making engineering decisions A code of ethics will provide guidance in the decision-making process The obligations of a code of ethics do not stop at the United States border The obligations of engineers go beyond fulfilling a contract with a client or customer. The effectiveness of the video in achieving these goals is assessed through questionnaires and a standard test of moral reasoning. As part of the dissemination plan and in order to assure its wide use in the educational environment, a free copy will be sent to every engineering dean in the United States who oversees ABET-accredited engineering programs. Free examination copies will also be sent to major engineering and applied ethics societies in the United States. This wide distribution will encourage use of the video in conveying the importance of ethics in undergraduate curricula, graduate curricula, and continuing education programs.

一个由工程教育工作者、工程实践者和在工程伦理方面享有国际声誉的哲学家组成的项目团队制作了一个视频，将一个虚构但现实的工程伦理案例研究戏剧化。这是Gilbane Gold的续集；一个非常成功的获奖视频。本视频将有助于满足当代对工程伦理有效指导的需求，这是由于最近对工程课程的认证要求包括工程伦理的各个方面，以及各州许可机构对专业工程师许可的职业道德意识要求的增加。该视频将覆盖成千上万的工程专业学生、实习工程师和其他与工程师一起工作的人。它强调工程师的积极责任和由此带来的公众利益，而不是举报，这是吉尔班金的一个方面。由于经济的全球化，新视频是在国际背景下拍摄的。为了提高曝光率和教学效果，该视频分为三个版本：一个20-25分钟的“基本”故事版本，按照Gilbane Gold的路线，一个可以部分观看的“分段”版本，以及一个DVD的“互动”版本，允许观众观察不同道德决定的后果。影片将提高学生和实习工程师的能力：根据基本的道德价值观并通过简单的测试评估备选方案确定和区分道德问题、技术问题和经济问题确定受影响的各方（利益相关者）及其权利和责任确定可能的解决方案所受的社会和政治限制确定是否需要额外的信息来作出一个好的决策制定备选行动方案测试备选方案并设想这些备选方案可能产生的后果。此外，该视频将帮助观众更加意识到：道德考虑是做出工程决策的一个组成部分道德准则将在决策过程中提供指导道德准则的义务不限于美国边境工程师的义务不仅仅是履行与客户或客户的合同。通过问卷调查和道德推理标准测试来评估视频在实现这些目标方面的有效性。作为传播计划的一部分，为了确保其在教育环境中的广泛使用，一份免费的副本将被发送给监督abet认证工程项目的每一位美国工程学院院长。免费考卷也将寄给美国主要的工程和应用伦理学会。这种广泛的传播将鼓励在本科课程、研究生课程和继续教育课程中使用视频来传达道德的重要性。
