卡塔尔正以前所未有的速度增长，这得益于对其巨大天然气储备的利用。这个国家的财富来自石油、天然气和石化工业。所有专业对工程师的需求都很高，卡塔尔大学（QU）是卡塔尔唯一的国立大学，为该国提供了最多的工程毕业生。对于工程师来说，他们的职业允许他们对社会产生积极或消极的影响，至关重要的是，他们的决定涉及健全的道德判断，将公众的安全、健康和福利放在首位，并只在他们的能力范围内提供服务。这种伦理责任在工程课程的伦理教学中得到考虑和加强。本文对高等师范院校工程伦理教学现状进行了综述。选择化工作为案例研究。本研究的目的是检讨目前的做法，找出差距，并向学院提出建议，以加强工程课程的道德教育。
Qatar is growing at an unprecedented rate due to the utilization of its vast gas reserves. The country's wealth stems from oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Engineers are in high demand in all specializations and Qatar University (QU), Qatar's only national university, provides the country with the highest number of engineering graduates. For engineers, whose occupation allows them potential for positive or negative societal impacts, it is critical that their decisions involve sound ethical judgment, hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public, and perform services only in areas of their competence. This ethical responsibility is considered and enhanced in the teaching of ethics in their engineering curriculum. In this paper, a review of current practices in teaching ethics in engineering at QU is given. Chemical engineering selected as a case study. The aim of the study is to review current practices, identify gaps and make recommendations to the college to enhance the ethics education in the engineering curriculum at QU.
