AB  - One of the most neglected subjects in engineering education is engineering ethics.  The engineering profession has a greater impact on more people every day than any other profession and therefore, the importance of engineering ethics education cannot be understated.  Over the years this neglect has garnered some attention; however, engineering ethics education has not been thoroughly addressed or improved.  Virtue ethics is one approach to engineering ethics education that helps in character development.  Virtues are character traits/habits of the good, which should be the character traits of the ethical engineer.  This article seeks to address engineering ethics education through virtue and identifies the major engineering virtues of phronesis, justice, fortitude, and honesty as the “Hallmarks of an Engineer”. Phronesis is practical wisdom, justice is rendering each person that which he/she is due, fortitude is the moral and physical courage to do what is right, and honesty is rendering truth in all endeavors.  These virtues are a solid foundation for character formation and form a construct for engineering ethics education.  Internalizing these virtues enables engineers to become more ethical and better equipped to deal with ethical challenges of modern society and engineering.
