Abstract

This article discusses an instance where a lead researcher at a Midwestern university submitted as his own a document contained multiple instances of plagiarism from a consultant’s masters thesis and replicated a data chart, and was fired when caught. Curiously, he was completely unable to see that his actions were wrong. The author uses this instance to show how engineering ethics education should be improved, and argues that engineering ethics is better taught in the form of a design course in order to maximize “somatic” learning.
