人们对有时被称为“新工程师”的需求背后的原因进行了严格的审查，并认为仅关注就业能力不足以培养有社会责任感的工程师。通过研究工作组织和可持续性方面的问题，建议工程师需要了解他们工作的更广泛的社会背景。有人认为，道德教育的重点应该扩大到社会结构及其促进和限制社会责任行为的方式。有人呼吁重新调整工程师对监管体系的态度，以便他们不仅将其视为约束，而且将其视为支持社会责任工程的潜在推动者。
The reasons behind the demand for what is sometimes called the New Engineer are critically examined and it is argued that a focus on employability alone is not sufficient to prepare socially responsible engineers. By examining issues around work organisation and sustainability it is proposed that engineers need to understand the wider social context in which they work. It is argued that the focus of ethics education should be broadened to focus on the social structure and the way it both enables and constrains socially responsible conduct. There is a call to refocus engineers' attitudes towards the systems of regulation so they see them not only as constraints but as potential enablers supporting socially responsible engineering.
