Engineering Ethics

every engineering graduate will work foran international development or other NGO.Instead, we propose that educators should strive to prepare students for a wide variety ofpersonal and professional pathways, yet with the goal of enabling them to become truly globalengineers capable of navigating ethical issues in diverse job roles and national/cultural contexts.Thus, engineering educators from the four different approaches to engineering ethics in theglobal context need more communication, collaboration, and coordination among themselves, ashow to educate a globally professional and responsible engineer is a very real and daunting issuethat has received much less attention than other topics in the field of engineering education.References 1
