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.
