Though this canon only addresses theprofessional dimensions of engineering ethics, attention to ethics that emphasize the health andwelfare of others—and the social good more generally—in the personal and social spherespromises to be a fruitful approach to integrating the microethics of the day-to-day with themacroethics associated with institutions and broad social systems [25].Attending to Educational Culture and Not Just Student KnowledgeFinally, we find that if engineering educators desire to change how students develop and practiceethics, attention must be given not only to students’ demonstrated ethical knowledge, but also tothe
