Promoting the Quarry Workers' Hazard Identification Through Formal and Informal Safety Training.

Background: The surface mining industry has one of the highest fatality rates among private industries in the United States. Despite recent decreases in the fatality rates of comparable industries, the fatality rate in the surface mining industry has increased. Meanwhile, a lack of safety research in surface mining has hindered efforts to improve safety strategies in the surface mining workplace.

Educating Engineers to Work Ethically with Global Marginalized Communities.

Ethical reasoning is an important ability for engineers working with marginalized communities in global contexts. However, the ethical awareness and development that are critical for this work may not be included in traditional engineering education. This article presents faculty perspectives on the ethical and societal issues (ESI) that should be taught and the pedagogies that are used to prepare students for development engineering.

Exploratory Investigation of Personal Influences on Educators' Engagement in Engineering Ethics and Societal Impacts Instruction.

Cultivating an understanding of ethical responsibilities and the societal impacts of technology is increasingly recognized as an important component in undergraduate engineering curricula. There is growing research on how ethics-related topics are taught and outcomes are attained, especially in the context of accreditation criteria. However, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical understanding of the role that educators play in ethics and societal impacts (ESI) instruction and the factors that motivate and shape their inclusion of this subject in the courses they teach and co-curricular activities they mentor.
