Abstract
The importance of ethics education within the engineering curriculum cannot be overstated. As such, it has received considerable emphasis in progressive engineering education curricula worldwide. However, it has been noted that many of the examples used relate to generic issues in engineering, for example, failure to follow codes of ethics, rather than issues that are related specifically to engineering disciplines. We argue that while these generic issues are important, it is vital that discipline specific examples are also available for educators to embed ethics issues and concerns within technical classes. As part of the development of the Routledge International Handbook of Engineering Ethics Education (Chance et al., forthcoming), the authors represented here have developed a series of chapters to highlight ethics issues and discussions that are pertinent to Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Software Engineering. In this workshop we engaged educators in an exploration of the ways that discipline specific ethical topics may be embedded in the technical subjects within their discipline. The workshop aimed to support those that are looking to make sure of the handbook to enhance their coverage of ethics within their teaching and will help promote the open-access publication within the engineering education community.
