. Most importantly, this approach can marginalize ethics as side-topic,and not an integral or important part of engineering study from the students’ view.The ME faculty have chosen to spread ethics instruction throughout curriculum, takingadvantage of the existing Professional Component sequence. With this approach the studentswill hopefully perceive ethics as a common attribute of good engineering practice. In addition,instruction and student expectations can rise with progress through curriculum.The rising expectations can follow Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy for categorizing levels ofstudent learning [8]: Knowledge: The student is capable of recalling words, facts, and principles

environment.INTRODUCTIONEthics, social responsibility, and trust are critical issues for the built environment fromproduction and professional identity perspectives. These issues have been recognized byowners, manufacturers, designers and constructors through the creation of the codes ofethics/professional conduct and integration of ethics to the professional degree programcurriculums. The codes of ethics/professional conduct are generally defined and enforcedthrough licensing institutions, professional organizations or within individual companies orfirms. The educational need for ethics and social responsibility is also noted in the highereducation system by the revision of educational curriculums through accrediting agencyrequirements. However, in professional degree

want to see ethically-mindedengineers exit the graduation stage and enter the work force. But how can faculty increase thechances of that occurring? Other professions that impose on practitioners a high level ofprofessional responsibility might provide useful answers. Surprisingly, no better professionexists for this purpose than the legal profession. The endless parade of jokes about attorneyshides the fact that the legal profession possesses a refined ethics curriculum and accountabilityprocess.This paper seeks to understand what the legal curriculum suggests to engineering educatorsabout how and what to include in an ethics curriculum. The paper outlines the high level ofdevelopment of ethics in law school curricula and the intense

GoalsThis course is designed to help students to develop an awareness of the multiple issues they will Page 11.48.2meet in their careers, and a capacity for critical analysis of ethical and societal dilemmas. Itshould prepare them to exercise the flexibility and insight that are necessary to take an ethicallyresponsible position when faced with unprecedented circumstances. Finally, they should acquirean understanding of the scientist’s responsibility toward and
