dc.description.abstractThere has been a significant shift in engineering education due to societal transformation, evolving industry expectations, and sustainability concerns. Consequently, new competencies have been incorporated into engineering curricula, with ethics education emphasizing social responsibility as a core competency for students. This paper aims to adapt the Engineering Professional Responsibility Assessment (EPRA) to Turkish culture. Data were obtained from two different groups. The participants in the 1st group consisted of 490 students from the faculty of engineering and the second group consisted of 747 students. The original scale consists of 51 items and 8 factors. Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the construct validity of the scale. As a result of EFA, some items were removed from the scale, and a three-factor structure with 25 items was obtained. The adapted scale is a reliable measurement tool that can be used by engineering educators and researchers to make inferences about students' social responsibility levels. The adapted scale proves to be a reliable measurement tool, offering insights into students' levels of social responsibility for engineering educators and researchers. The reliability values within CTT and IRT also support each other. The marginal reliability coefficient from the IRT was 0.98, while the Cronbach Alpha within the CTT was 0.97 and the Omega was 0.97.
