Gunter Bombaerts and Diana Martin, TU Eindhoven Value-sensitive design (VSD) and other methods of design for value are key in engineering and in engineering ethics education (EEE). They are extremely supportive to increase the ethical contribution of engineers in technological…
Rafael A. CalvoDyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London, UK In a recent article about the future of design education, Meyer and Norman defined design as “Design generates the tangible and intangible built environment as well as the social…
Dylan Cawthorne, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark For the past few years, my research at the University of Southern Denmark has focused on applying the value sensitive design (VSD) methodology to an exciting and sometimes contentious technology – drones (https://www.sdu.dk/en/forskning/sduuascenter). …
Katta Spiel TU Wien, Austria Being aware of normative and applied ethics and how these might be relevant in our everyday professional live comprises a necessary skill for modern engineers. However, educating upcoming engineers on ethics also requires us to…
Elisabet M. Nilsson Anne-Marie Hansen Malmö University, Sweden The development and implementation of new technologies impact society on many different levels, from the individual perspective to large-scale societal effects (Nathan et al., 2008). As acknowledged, all designs embed and manifest certain values…
Taylor Stone TU Delft, The Netherlands At a general level, the basic tenets of value sensitive design (VSD) are easy enough to grasp; the challenge lies in applying the concepts and methods to specific domains or technologies, and working through…
Steven Umbrello,University of Turin, Italy steven.umbrello@unito.it Daisy Yoo,Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands : d.yoo@tue.nl How can engineering students learn to quickly and actively engage in designing technologies for human values rather than relegating them to afterthoughts? Or, more precisely, what…
Jennifer Amos, Gabriel Rashad Burks UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, USA In user-centered design, a designer spends significant time trying to understand the problem (Figure 1). The user-centered design process entails multiple rounds of divergent and convergent thinking. In particular, the designer must…
Gunter Bombaerts and Diana MartinTU Eindhoven, the Netherlands Engineers often see themselves as the guardians of the rationality-galaxy. Without rationality, including scientific rigor and engineering efficiency, humanity is completely lost. Corona countermeasures would be up to emotional anti-vaxxers and the…
A Systematic Review on Emotion in Engineering Ethics Education Madeline PolmearUniversity of Florida, USA Emotion is intrinsically tied to ethics, such as being situated in the ethic of care, moral intuition, and moral judgment. Emotion is connected to education through…
