Welcome to the assessment pages of the EPCâs Engineering Ethics toolkit, produced in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering. Click here for the toolkit homepage.
These assessment articles are intended to provide expert advice on how to assess ethics learning within engineering education.
- Methods for assessing and evaluating ethics learning in engineering education discusses the challenges of ethics assessment, alongside aims and methods, and tips for developing assessment tools.
- Assessing ethics: Guidance & rubric is designed in a way that encourages students to grapple with the numerous tensions involved in ethical decision making, with a focus on assessment of the decision-making process as opposed to the âanswerâ given, the decision made, or the outcome of the scenario.
- Assessing ethics: Case study example: Water wars demonstrates how the questions provided in the rubric can be used to assess the competencies stipulated at each level, with this example focusing on our Water Wars case study.
