Abstract
Emotion is an increasingly important concept in ethics, education, and engineering. It is also important for the intersection of these three domains: engineering ethics education. Despite extensive research being conducted independently in each field, there has yet to be a synthesis across the fields which would identify key themes, concepts, or theories in use, and which would identify conceptual spaces for development.
Methods
A configurative meta-synthesis of the literature on emotion in engineering ethics education was undertaken by a large international team. It was identified that, because there were relatively few ethics education papers in the sample, ethics would not emerge as a major theme. Thus, a more focused systematic review on emotions in engineering ethics education was undertaken.
