Abstract

Engineering curricula should give emphasis on engineering ethics to teach students to become responsible engineers. By encouraging engineering students to cultivate their value standard for right or wrong, they are able to develop a sensitive conscience. This can be carried out by citing motivational examples, class interactions and examination of basic virtues.
