However,the so-called "strong" not only means an advantage in quantity, but also requires an increase invalue [1]. China's engineering ethics education started relatively later. The "Engineering EthicsResearch" conducted by Southwest Jiaotong University in 1998 represented the first attentionpaid by Chinese universities to engineering ethics, and the research results were ultimatelytransformed into China's first engineering ethics characteristic textbook. The official birth markcan be traced back to 2000, when various universities established elective courses. In 2007,Zhejiang University, a

While the topics included in the thirdmodule depend on the interests of the instructor and the students, a small sample of these topicsincludes: genetic engineering, IVF, surrogacy, weapons of mass destruction, nuclear power, dataethics, ethical algorithms, self-driving vehicles, autonomous weapons, lying and deception inengineering, and techno-ableism.

This study is intended to bringawareness to what engineering ethics education should continue and improve. The results offerinsight into the critical topics that society’s future engineers might not have mastered. It is hopedthat engineering ethics educators are given the guidance to incorporate concepts in theirclassrooms like emotions— the least covered topic but something every engineer has and needsto learn how to manage.VI.

argue a for the generaleducation requirements for a college education, the training can sometimes be abstract and can stayin the thought realm alone. This was certainly my experience with ethics coursework, a great of dealof thought and writing but not a clear picture of how to then take that and apply it to the profession.My conversations with students, as well as studies [16] has indicated that most students do not makea connection between what they learned in the ethics course and how they would apply that learningto the profession. This is of course a challenge with all general non-major education requirementswhere different students disengage with different aspects of the curriculum.

While faculty in general agree thatengineering ethics should be incorporated into multiple courses in the curriculum, those whoteach traditional, more technical courses are less likely to think that ethics should be taught intheir own courses [29, p. 15], despite

Specifically, the structure of undergraduate education lends itself tomore opportunity for generalized, large-group discussion of ethics in courses. Whereas, thementoring relationship present in graduate education makes individual conversation of ethicslikely to arise in small higher-level seminars or at the point of research participation in the lab.Multiple of our faculty interviewees state that the majority of graduate students’ ethicalknowledge comes from their time working in a lab.

that there were numerous approaches toethics education which varied from simple in class exercises to dedicated engineering ethicscourses [10]. The most common approach was the case study. In a general construct, the casestudy presents a background on the circumstances of the situation (ethical dilemma), how theparties acted and the consequences of the actions. The study also presents a hierarchy ofparticipants so that ethical codes can be applied to the solution [10], [9], [11]. The beauty ofthis approach is that there is a prescriptive way to approach an ethics class that is familiar toinstructors.
