This project develops the science of teaching engineering ethics by engaging students as expert witnesses in a litigation role play experience. Standard pedagogies expose students to broad ethical dilemmas that they may encounter in their careers and provide valuable practice in ethical reasoning related to these problems. Expert witness role plays have the potential to expand on this base of knowledge to help students develop awareness and practical skills to deal with the ethical challenges of maintaining scientific objectivity as an expert witness in their specifica area of study.The intellectual merit of this research comes from extending an anecdotally successful role play experience based on reconstructing a traffic crash by developing five complete expert witness role plays and evaluating the efficacy of this approach in two institutions using both formative and summative evaluation techniques. The broader impact of this work includes developing a framework to aid other educators in developing expert witness role plays on additional engineering expert topics and disseminating the result of this project on commonly used ethics web portals to incorporate expert witness role plays in their own classrooms.

该项目通过让学生作为专家证人参与诉讼角色扮演体验，发展了工程伦理学教学科学。标准教学法让学生面临他们在职业生涯中可能遇到的广泛道德困境，并提供与这些问题相关的道德推理的宝贵实践。专家证人角色扮演有潜力扩展这一知识基础，帮助学生培养意识和实践技能，以应对作为特定研究领域的专家证人保持科学客观性的道德挑战。这项研究的智力价值来自于通过开发五个完整的专家证人角色扮演，并使用形成性和总结性评估来评估这种方法在两个机构中的有效性，从而扩展基于重建交通事故的轶事成功的角色扮演经验。 技术。这项工作的更广泛影响包括开发一个框架，以帮助其他教育工作者在其他工程专家主题上开发专家证人角色扮演，并在常用的道德门户网站上传播该项目的结果，以将专家证人角色扮演纳入他们自己的课堂。
