While different operationalizations exist for professional skills, the NationalAcademy of Engineering and ABET generally agree that students’ development should focus onfive specific areas: teamwork and shared leadership, effective communication, creative problem-solving, business and management principles, and professional and ethical responsibility. Inengineering education, skills development often happens within courses like cornerstone andcapstone design [1], as well as in cocurricular activities such as professional organizations andstudent design teams [2].

But, this seems to be one of manyaspects of the social media that need to be controlled, so many people think. Each of usmakes an ethical judgement in response to the problem. Medical doctors come face to facewith the study of medical ethics during their training since they have to make life and deathdecisions. Engineers will have been told about their codes of practice. By and large, however,a curriculum that is focused on preparation for work gives little attention to ethics, which isnot perhaps surprising in a world that Hamilton-Paterson thinks has little or no conception

It is common for ourespoused beliefs to not match our behaviors [14] suggesting that the nuances of our implicitbeliefs may be missing, or there are contextual factors at play that influence one’s decision-making. Behavioral ethicists encourage individuals to create awareness in decision-makingsituations by being reflective of their choices (behavior) rather than adhering to a specific set ofvalues stipulated by themselves or others [31].
