Title
A communicative approach to exploring the development of ethical team processes over time.
Abstract
This study contributes to our understanding of the social and communication processes that affect students' engagement in design work. We examine ethical considerations in a multidisciplinary design projects as students work through the challenges of team collaboration and struggle to integrate the ethical and technical aspects of engineering work. We use a mixed methods approach to investigate how design teams come to understand and create meanings for ethics in their projects, as well as the social mechanisms by which these students incorporate the diverse kinds of expertise of their team members throughout the course of their design work. In this work-in-progress paper, we will present preliminary results of an analyses of three data points across two semesters. This approach to ethics in engineering design can illuminate the social relations that influence design work and enable or hinder students to effectively recognize and incorporate ethics in their everyday work.
