About 35 Professors and researchersgathered together and discussed intensively about effectiveengineering ethics education for the first time. The results from survey of participantswill be discussed. Also current status of engineering ethics education in Korea is to bepresented in the paper. Various courses handling ethical issues in many universities areto be discussed. And international cooperation between JSEE and KSEE on engineeringethics education will be discussed. It is only a beginning in Korea, however, due toABEEK accreditation, i.e., ethics outcome and due to societal needs to educateengineering students with responsible, critical and reflective ethical thinking capability,engineering ethics education will be emphasized greatly in Korea and further variousaction including government financial support will be developed to improve currenteducation system.
