Students in the class were first presented with a consent form approved by theuniversity’s Research Ethics Board explaining the study. All students in the course were asked tocomplete concept maps and these were marked only for completion. Concept map data fromstudents not opting in to the study was not used for further analysis

students grasp what sustainable design “is” or “should look like.”IntroductionThe first canon of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ code of ethics reminds students,professors, and practicing engineers of the professional responsibility to hold paramount publicsafety and welfare and “strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development in theperformance of their professional duties” [1]. Accordingly, engineering graduates are expected todemonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will position them to design sustainablesystems. ABET reinforced this expectation with a special issue brief released in November 2018and titled “Sustainable Education: Readying Today’s Higher Ed Students to Tackle the World’sGrand Challenges.” The

The NSE emphasizes the need to“enforce the maintenance of discipline and strict standards of ethics in the practice of theengineering profession in Nigeria”33, however ethic courses do not seem to be part of theengineering curriculum at Nigerian universities. As long as ethics is not part of the academiccurriculum, Nigeria will continue to suffer from corruption and remain classified as a developingcountry despite its richness in natural resources.References 1.
