engineering departments require theirstudents to see engineering ethics in their coursework and (b) how much engineeringdepartments may offer regarding engineering ethics. For this we present a basic descriptivestatistical analysis. The results we present have implications for engineering ethics educators andadministrators working at various levels in the entire undergraduate engineering educationecosystem.Introduction Ethical decision-making is an essential element of engineering practice. Engineersoccupy myriad roles in society that enable them potentially to impact the lives of thousands ofpeople. Without an understanding of how to identify and make better and worse decisions,engineers could make detrimental decisions that register a

and reflection in order to reach anethical decision. All of the potential scenarios encountered by practicing engineers could neverbe covered in one code of ethics. They are principles and standards to follow and not a cookbooksolution outlining steps to resolve every ethical situation.MethodologyA junior level course was developed a number of years ago titled Technology in WorldCivilization (Loendorf17, 2004) that was designed to broaden the students' perspective of pasttechnologies and how they were discovered and used. The main objectives of the course were to:(a) promote awareness of technological development, and (b) provide a rudimentaryunderstanding of their social, political, economic, and cultural impact. Three years ago, alearning
will likely pay more attention to global codes of ethics as they are quite familiar with the existing codes of ethics and have curiosity and imagination about whether these codes of ethics are applicable in other cultures. (b) so far as we know, only a few scholars (mainly philosophers) have claimed that there are some characteristics unique to the engineering profession that define engineering as a globalized profession. It is unclear if we can conclude that this phenomenon is due to the traditional mission of philosophy that is “seeking the truth” essential for defining an object.

But we alsoperformed some targeted recruitment focused on other attributes and characteristics, e.g.,participation in academic programs known for more or less formal coverage of engineeringethics, low or high scores on survey measures related to ethics and social responsibility, etc.The researchers used a semi-structured interview protocol focused on four main areas: “(a)general definitions (including macro-ethics), (b) experiences that influence ethical perceptionspast, present, and future (including justice), (c) ethical climate at the students’ undergraduateinstitution, and (d) elaboration on the ethical scenarios

The National Scienceand Technology Council (2000) 2 proposed two components for promoting a new generation ofskilled workers for the rapid progress in nanotechnology: a) awareness of ethical, legal, societalimplications and b) workforce education and training efforts. Similarly, Roco (2003) 3 arguedthat nanotechnology success is determined by an interaction of different factors such as trainingof students in nanoscale science and engineering, legal aspects, and state and federal
