Engineering Ethics Engineering ethics is attracting
increasing interest in engineering universities throughout the nation. At Texas
A&M University, evidence of this interest in professional ethics culminated
in the creation of a new course in engineering ethics, as well as a project
funded by the National Science Foundation to develop material for introducing
ethical issues into required undergraduate engineering courses. A small group of
faculty and administrators actively supported the growing effort at Texas
A&M, yet this group must now expand to meet the needs of increasing numbers
of students wishing to learn more about the value implications of their actions
as professional engineers. The increasing concern for the value
dimension of engineering is, at 1east in part, a result of the attention that
the media has given to cases such as the Challenger disaster, the Kansas City
Hyatt-Regency Hotel walkways collapse, and the Exxon oil spill. As a response to
this concern, a new discipline, engineering ethics, is emerging. This discipline
will doubtless take its place alongside such well-established fields as medical
ethics, business ethics, and legal ethics. The problem presented
by this development is that most engineering professors are not prepared to
introduce literature in engineering ethics into their classrooms. They are most
comfortable with quantitative concepts and often do not believe they are
qualified to lead class discussions on ethics. Many engineering faculty members
do not think that they have the time in an already overcrowded syllabus to
introduce discussions on professional ethics, or the time in their own schedules
to prepare the necessary material. Hopefully, the resources presented herein
will be of assistance.
Several engineering professors have quit from teaching to protest against the creation of a new course in engineering ethics.
