本文探讨了本科工程教育如何在美国工程学校的不同样本中支持学生的广义道德发展，并分析了这些努力的优势和劣势。本文借鉴了观察性案例研究，这些研究是基于对美国七所大学或工程学院的本科机械和电气工程项目的实地考察。本文首先提出了工程专业道德规范，作为思考学生在道德和职业责任领域学习目标的有用框架。然后，本文讨论了案例研究学校如何以及在多大程度上实现这些目标，并通过参考该领域已发表的研究提供了额外的背景。最后提出了加强工程伦理与职业责任教学的建议。
This paper asks how undergraduate engineering education supports students' ethical development, broadly defined, in a diverse sample of U.S. engineering schools and offers an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of those efforts. The paper draws on observational case studies that were based on site visits to undergraduate mechanical and electrical engineering programs at seven universities or engineering schools in the U.S. It begins by proposing professional codes of ethics in engineering as a useful framework for thinking about the goals for student learning in the area of ethics and professional responsibility. The paper then discusses how and to what degree these goals are being addressed in the case study schools, with additional context provided through reference to published research in the field. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening the teaching of engineering ethics and professional responsibility.
