VMI's CE program, highlightingthe synergy between technical education, ethical leadership, and military values.1. IntroductionEngineers are expected to uphold ethical standards as an essential element of their profession[1,2]. Ethical codes are commonly established by engineering societies, such as the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) [3], the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) [4], the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) [5], and the NationalSociety of Professional Engineers (NSPE) [6]. These codes of ethics provide lists of genericrules of practice for engineering professionals in how they approach their professional duties,including interactions with others [3-6]. Because ethics is important to the
