Virginia Grande; Thomas Taro Lennerfors; Anne-Kathrin Peters; Kristina von Hausswolff – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
In this paper, we discuss the ethical responsibilities of being a role model as an engineering teacher in higher education. We draw on virtue ethics, care ethics, ethics of freedom and role modeling theory, using Grande's framework for engineering education. We argue that the three ethical theories give different views on the ethics of role…
