Integrating ethics and risk management in engineering education is crucial. Current research shows risk management is often an example, not deeply explored, highlighting a need for enhanced focus on responsible engineering practices.
Area of Science:
- Engineering Education Research
- Professional Ethics
- Risk Management Studies
Background:
- Risk management is a core engineering responsibility, necessitating ethical considerations.
- Integrating ethics and risk management in engineering curricula is vital for professional development.
- Existing engineering education literature often treats risk management superficially within ethical discussions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the representation of the ethics-risk management nexus in engineering education research.
- To identify how ethical considerations are integrated with risk management in engineering studies.
- To inform strategies for enhancing the link between ethics and risk management in engineering education.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of 135 articles.
- Analysis of publications from 1980 to March 2016.
- Selection from 21 specialized journals in engineering education, ethics, and ethics education.
Main Results:
- Risk management is predominantly used as illustrative examples in ethics education.
- The connection is often framed as a rational, technical, or duty-based requirement.
- A minority of studies offer critical perspectives on ethical risk and safety management.
Conclusions:
- The link between ethics and risk management requires deeper integration in engineering education.
- Enhanced focus can foster more socially and environmentally responsible engineering.
- Further research trends and issues are identified to support this educational advancement.
