This paper describes several reasons why teaching ethicsto undergraduate engineers is important, and how the students should discern what are, and whatare not, ethical decisions. This paper also lists several benefits of practicing ethics at theworkplace for the individual employee and the organization as a whole.Graduates need to know their relevant professional organizations and the expected professionalbehaviors from the members.

emphasize technical development,with little opportunity to experience and explore creative and humanistic subjects and to developethically and holistically (Cech & Sherick, 2015; Riley, 2008). Moreover, many engineeringstudents who are used to highly reductionist and analytical thinking find it difficult to engage with“softer” learning and may experience lowered motivation in these subjects (Badenhorst et al.,2020). Underlying these challenges is a cultural belief within engineering that sees the rigour andrationality of math and science being superior to the creativity and emotionality of arts andhumanities (Riley, 2017; Wisnioski, 2015).Over the past three years, we have explored, developed, and experimented with a number ofnovel pedagogies
