本文试图区分科学技术和工程，并简要介绍工程价值和工程伦理。这种方法(大致上)是对历史的哲学审视。事实证明，工程是一个相对较新的行业，只有300年的历史，在技术和道德上都有独特的承诺，在此期间在技术和道德上都发生了很大的变化。这篇论文的动机是这样一种信念，即过于简单地将工程与技术等同起来，往往会掩盖工程师对技术和他们自己的专业标准的特殊贡献，从而掩盖工程伦理的起源和内容。
This article attempts to distinguish between science and technology, on the one hand, and engineering, on the other, offering a brief introduction to engineering values and engineering ethics. The method is (roughly) a philosophical examination of history. Engineering turns out to be a relatively recent enterprise, barely three hundred years old, to have distinctive commitments both technical and moral, and to have changed a good deal both technically and morally during that period. What motivates the paper is the belief that a too-easy equation of engineering with technology tends to obscure the special contribution of engineers to technology and to their own professional standards and so, to obscure as well both the origin and content of engineering ethics.
