There is wide agreement that ethical considerations are a valuable aspect of a data science curriculum, and to that end, many data science programs offer courses in data science ethics. There are not always, however, explicit connections between data science ethics and the centuries-old work on ethics within the discipline of philosophy. Here, we…

This study examines the value of a new certification program designed to teach nine principles of ethical advertising. The Certified Ethical Advertising Executive (CEAE) certificate course was added to the curriculum in two undergraduate marketing courses in Fall of 2023. The same courses were taught by the same instructors in the semester prior…

This article elucidates a nuanced methodology to embed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within engineering curricula, grounded in the tenets of the CDIO Standard 3 framework. Given the heightened emphasis on sustainability within contemporary industrial contexts, there is an imperative demand for engineers endowed with sophisticated…

As critical posthumanist and (new) materialist scholarship become more established in educational research, a reconsideration of methodological approaches suited to a radical relational onto-epistemology is required. A popular figuration adopted by researchers to help think and do such research is the Deleuze-Guattarian "rhizome." Coming…

Educators throughout the world are deeply concerned about what ChatGPT means for education. I argue that Christian educators must avoid extreme reactions and fulfill three key roles to remain focused on students' holistic formation: (1) casting a moral vision of truthfulness; (2) evaluating curricula, syllabi, and formal assessments while also…

In engineering education, there is a prioritization of microethics and an omission of macroethics. Although macroethics is particularly significant for civil engineering, in which decision making directly influences the quality of civil infrastructure, current educational practices in civil engineering do not reflect this importance. This case…

To refrain from cheating, students need to adopt an array of discipline-specific standards of academic integrity. The high rates of cheating in college show evidence that many undergraduates fall short of these standards. Little research has examined how instructors teach academic integrity, leaving gaps in our knowledge about how academic…

This study aims to explore the impact of an anti-corruption education course on the perception of anomie among 358 undergraduate students from two public universities. The study adopted a mixed-methods research design. The experimental group received a six-week anti-corruption education course comprising video-based modules while the control group…

This study investigates the influence of instructor mindset on student perceptions. Due to the need for increasing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) student retention and the issue of underrepresentation of minority groups in STEM disciplines, we also examined whether instructor mindset impacts underrepresented students more…

This article investigates the pedagogical power of teaching and learning alongside Octavia Butler's "Kindred." I examine the stories of students enrolled in a special topics undergraduate honors seminar centered on personal discovery, race, and family using grounded theory and narrative textual analysis. Students' narratives reveal the…

This study explores the extent to which a unique and disruptive experience (a field trip to a prison) combined with reflective writing resulted in transformative learning by students enrolled in an accounting ethics course. Students were provided with clearly defined steps ('prompts') designed to encourage them to think logically and to reflect…

In the last century, higher education has witnessed a shift away from explicit character education. Although scholarship has recently reemerged on the importance of character in college, there are almost no empirical investigations of courses intentionally designed to impact student character at the college level. The current study examines an…
