Thinking ethics differently: challenges and opportunities for engineering education
Abstract
The debate in social sciences in 21th century points out the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the necessity of a paradigm shift. The turmoil caused by the recent transformations of the world questions the well-established analytical categories of humanities and social sciences. These old categories become an obstacle to the understanding of the contemporary society. In this world on move, the constant changing cultural values affect and shape practices and behaviors. Fashioned by the domination of sciences, technologies, and power, the expectations of social actors are not taken into account. In this context, the ethical awareness is progressively increased. Ethics is becoming a pivotal component of today’s society. The profound rupture between actors and systems entails the emergence of new ethical conscience and ethics. At an individual level, the new ethical values enable the actors to resist better against systems through choices, decisions and accountability. The recent industrial paradigm challenges the evolution of professional ethics in engineering and its relationship with engineers as social actors. Perceived as a social and cultural construct, ethics, according to sociologists, prepare engineers via education to face and cope with societal and professional changes. Thus, ethics contributes in shaping the new identity of engineers. In practice, how can engineers reconcile the universality of ethical principles with the particularism of the engineers as individuals, the organizational constraints of the company, and the societal expectations? Is an ethical global education for engineers the appropriate response to address the challenges of the new ethics of responsibility?
Keywords: Ethics; engineering education and ethics, engineering code of ethics
Biographies
Carmen Pasca holds a PhD in Sociology from University Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2- France and has degrees in philosophy, history and sociology (Research-Master from EHESS- Paris). Her research interests and activities focused on Social Choice, Risk, and Decision making Theories and the Acceptability of Fairness and Responsibility axioms. Recently she has conducted experiments to elicit social preferences over income compensation schemes .With John D Hey and John Bone of York University they have been awarded a grant from the University of York to carry out a series of experiments into the impact of responsibility, effort and luck on distributional judgments. We (John Bone, John D. Hey and myself) are just about to embark on a new set of experiments adding a third dimension into the impact of responsibility, effort and luck on social judgements. Her papers include: (1) “Inferring Social Preferences Over Income Distributions through Axioms”; (2) “On choosing a Constitution (at least the part relating to the distribution of income)”; (3) “Are Revealed Intentions Possible?”. She is currently working on a new experiment designed to discover, inter alia, people’s trade-offs between mean income and income inequality.
