introduced.Additionally, the global perspective in addressing varying standards for ethics must beunderstood.The two goals of this paper will be to describe the course content of a one-credit ethics class andhow this course meets the ABET criteria. The course content discussion will include theideology and methodology behind developing an ethics class that can be applied to most anyengineering and technology curriculum. The discussion of the course content will include thesyllabus outline, the need for an ethics class and a code of ethics, and how case studies are used.Additionally, there will be a discussion regarding the need for risk and safety awareness, theimportance of diversity in the workplace, and the need to be able to identify and avoid

instructional tools would, ideally, includevisits to construction sites or site training 9. There are, however, various complicating issues thatmake it impossible to rely on site visits. Most importantly, the instructor cannot control theavailability of a project at the necessary stage of completion. Also, visits of larger groups toconstruction sites may not be welcome, involve risk, and are unpractical. Finally, the high cost ofsite training is a further impediment to its extensive use for construction education. Generalcomputing and information technologies, and simulation in particular, have the potential to act asa priceless complement to construction engineering and management education.This paper demonstrated a virtual tour of a reinforced
