Spotlight on ethics: Why integrate ethics in engineering?

“It goes without saying that the way we design and use technology plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Engineers and their decisions have a huge impact on society.”

If you’d like to improve your own ethics learning, then our guidance article Why integrate ethics in engineering?is a great place to start.

This article should be read by educators at all levels in higher education who wish to integrate ethics into the engineering and design curriculum or module design.

We have a growing library ofguidance articlesavailable to support you as you expand your understanding of engineering ethics, and begin to embed it within the curriculum. We also have a library ofcase studies, for you to use and adapt in your teaching.

If you would like to give feedback on this or any other Engineering Ethics resource, or submit your own content, you can do sohere. We also have a newly created community of practice that you can join, where we hope that educators will support each other, and share their success stories of teaching engineering ethics. You can join our Ethics Ambassadors communityhere.
