This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources (CFDA #47.076), provides $114,724 to the University of Pittsburgh to improve engineering ethics education. The award aims to develop and test interactive collaborative and competitive scenarios to teach ethical reasoning skills to undergraduate engineering students, compared to traditional instructional methods. Specifically, the University of Pittsburgh will assess students' ethical reasoning abilities, create three ethics education scenarios, and implement a split cohort model with different instructional techniques to determine the impact on ethical development. By February 2023, the project intends to advance understanding of how engineering students approach ethical dilemmas and identify promising practices for ethics pedagogy. The funding supports the Foundation's mission of strengthening STEM education nationwide.
