constant vigilance for the potential violation of engineering ethics must beidentified to the student as their responsibility. They must assume the roll of a waryattendant as well as the competent engineer once they join the engineering profession. Itis suggested that weaving ethics instruction within the ‘normal’ engineering course workcan be an effective means of accomplishing this task. It also has an added benefit: theInstructor is constantly reminded of his/her ethical responsibilities while trying to instillsome ethical conscience in the students.Biography:Francis A.
