The base of all engineering andtechnological activity is the value system that we hold. Our beliefs and attitudes drive ourpersonal and working behaviours. The person who is engineering and technologically literatewill be grounded in a well thought out ethic. One way of arriving at an ethical position might beto examine the constructivist/realist philosophies in their response to the fundamental issues ofethics [14].

To accomplish this end, it is necessary for students in grades 9-12 to develop sophisticated and systematic methods for the exploration, understanding, and improvement of technology. This is accomplished by providing a rich experience in multidisciplinary research, decision making and problem solving which unifies mathematical, scientific, socioeconomic and ethical principles to practical applications.”Since

Thisknowledge is expressed through practical skills such as hunting, trapping, and gathering, andthrough the values of responsibility and reciprocity. Stewardship in this context means to giveback to nature all that nature gives to us and to take only what we need [29].H. R.
