Co-Creating in Education: A Micro-Credential on Professional Ethics for Engineers

Public safety relies on ethical engineers. It is important for students to understand real-world scenarios of ethics failure. As part of this project, I co-authored a micro-credential on engineering ethics with PSU faculty and an alumnus utilizing various ethical case studies. Through the project, I realized that real-world engineering incidents are often more ‘gray’ than classroom problems. In this work, observations and lessons learned from the perspective of an undergraduate student are presented.
