IntroductionA survey of recent literature in engineering ethics education displays two major trends –references to the ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria and approaches to satisfy it. The EC2000requires for engineers to understand their impact in social contexts both locally and globally byknowing and embracing their ethical responsibility. Thus, recent engineering ethics educationliterature displays the dialogue surrounding its content

What is needed, then, is a shift toward a culturethat prioritizes integrity, teaching, and learning. At our university, we have begun to institute thischange through a comprehensive, education-based approach.Here we are outlining the educational preventative portion of our university’s approach. Thisapproach focuses on increasing the benefits of ethical behavior rather than increasing the cost ofunethical behavior, even though academic dishonesty still receives harsh consequences.Proactive approaches like this one are often more adaptable11 and involve the entire universitycommunity in uniting to form a culture of integrity, teaching

the plight and the future of polar bears. IntroductionA new approach to engineering ethics, one based on the notion of a morally deep world,has been developed and reported.1 The morally deep world was first developed within thecontext of environmental ethics. A key element in its development in environmentalethics is the identification of an integral community. The present work makes the case forextending the identified integral community to include not only the environment but alsoother segments of society which have not been included in engineering ethics cases in thepast. Prior to examining a case study in which the morally deep code will be utilized, abrief review of the philosophical underpinnings of

presently know it enable humankind andall of creation to fulfill that dream? My response to that question is no, not as engineeringis practiced today at the beginning of the 21st century. While engineering is a professionwith a strong ethical dimension, and while we have explicitly stated in our various codesof conduct that we must hold paramount the public safety, there has been until veryrecently no reference to addressing two of the most important issues of our times –poverty and underdevelopment and environmental degradation. It is as if engineering as aprofession is somehow excused from such deliberations or that if we serve our employersfaithfully and professionally, it will somehow all work out in the end. I do not believe itwill somehow
