These experiencesshould facilitate career-long development of ethics knowledge and judgment.Rich resources exist for teaching engineering ethics. Technical societies provide many of theseresources especially as part of a defined course of professional study and as means to guide self-regulation of the profession. Many examples of codes of ethics have been developed to provideexplicit statements of and guides for ethical conduct, cf. [2]. Some of the codes are lengthywhile others are succinct
