Engineering Ethical Decisions

Jeff Newcomer, Engineering Technology

Jeff Newcomer, an Associate Professor in the Engineering Technology Department, collaborated with two colleagues, Kathy Kitto and Barbara Sylvester, to create an upper-division course in the engineering technology curriculum that combines writing with case studies featuring ethical dilemmas. Dr. Newcomer has enriched his students’ engineering technology educations by featuring ethics-focused case studies in several of his lower-division technical courses. In this way, ethics has been embedded throughout the engineering technology curriculum.
