AB  - The engineering profession requires a high level of training and study at a college level due to its vital importance and impact on the public. However, engineers may not be particularly trained in psychology, sociology, economics, or in many areas relevant to assessing the social consequences of technology. This type of insight is crucial because engineers have an obligation to the public good, specifically the safety, health, and welfare of society. While engineering used to prioritize business and technological advancements, it often meant that morals took a backseat in projects. The profound shift of emphasis took place in the 1970s when the primary obligation of engineers shifted from clients to the public and abiding by engineering codes. These codes are formulated in terms of rules with prohibitive tones so they may easily be enforced. It is crucial for engineering students to familiarize themselves with these codes and to follow them when applicable. The responsibilities of engineers, however, are not limited to abiding by code prohibitions but to actively prevent potential harm to society from other engineers or technology developed. Keeping the obligation to the good of the public as the clear priority may also include the occasional disagreement with employers, clients, and other coworkers. Without previous exposure to different ethically compromising situations, it may be difficult for students to make moral choices in their future careers. There have been several case studies of engineering situations of the distant and near past that serve as clear and realistic instructional examples. Students can recognize ethical issues and test their moral decision-making by studying such cases. The study of ethics in engineering education may also aid in understanding that while the codes of ethics are handy, they may only sometimes provide clear-cut answers. Engineers are obligated to bring competence and integrity to their work, but considering the public's welfare is equally important. This paper will discuss the classroom experience of an engineering technology student and how critical the case studies are.
