NDA Ethical Dilemma: Case study

Nursah Yakut, Purdue University

The NDA Ethical Dilemma is an interactive H5P case study designed to support character development and ethical decision-making in engineering and computing contexts. Through a realistic workplace scenario, learners follow Emma, an engineer navigating tensions between contributing her expertise, honoring a non-disclosure agreement, and responding to pressure from her new team. As learners make decisions and receive feedback, they reflect on how character traits such as honesty, courage, practical wisdom, and professional responsibility shape ethical conduct and communication in the workplace.
