Abstract
Special thank you to Dr. Siewi Fan, Mr. Mark Benton, Dr. Bradley Wall, Undergraduate Research Institute, and supportive staff. The 7th Annual Ethics in Engineering Case Competition was held February 26 to February 28, 2024, at Lockheed Martin’s Center for Leadership Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University joined other colleges and universities presenting solutions to a fictional case involving ethical, business, and engineering issues. Each college or university was represented by a two-student undergraduate team accompanied by a faculty advisor. ERAU was represented by two teams: K. Bennett and C. Glemaud accompanied by Dr. Date, and M. Romero and H. Willer accompanied by Dr. Koons. The competition required two stakeholder groups to come to a solution for a presented dilemma. Each ERAU team competed head-to-head with another school, representing one of the stakeholder groups. The goal of the competition was to take the lead in coming up with a win-win solution. The competition addressed issues of the detection of potentially hazardous asteroids and the challenges of finding a collaborative solution in the workplace. The case study involved two subcontractors working on detection capabilities to better identify the asteroid. One subcontractor was responsible for infrared data processing and the other was responsible for artificial intelligence (AI) image processing. Each team represented one subcontractor facing ethical dilemmas and had to come to a mutual solution with the opposing team. Both ERAU teams presented their unique solutions to the ethical dilemma.
