我们期望工程师诚实，就像我们期望医生、教师、水管工、银行家甚至我们的政治家诚实一样。最低限度，这意味着他们不应欺骗、伪造文件或报告、信守承诺和遵守合同义务。但是，关于工程学和伦理学之间的关系，我们可以说得更多。扩大它意味着什么是一个工程师是理解专业人士的责任，看到超越道德意味着在当代的压力和成功的措施的边界内，并知道什么是可用的选择，然后再决定任何新的方向。一些伦理问题是工程本身的内部问题。在本文中，我们使用社会正义的角度来批判当前的工程伦理思想，并考虑需要发生的扩大，以突破行业的主导范式。
We expect engineers, much as we expect doctors, teachers, plumbers, bankers and even our politicians to be honest. Minimally this means that they should not cheat, falsify documents or reports, keep promises and adhere to contractual obligations. But more can be said about the relation between engineering and ethics. Enlarging what it means to be an engineer is to understand the responsibility of a professional to see beyond what ethics means within the boundaries of contemporary pressures and measures of success, and to know what the available choices are before deciding on any new direction. Some ethical problems are internal to engineering itself. In this paper we use a social justice perspective to critique current ideas about engineering ethics and consider the enlarging which needs to occur to break through the dominant paradigms of the profession.
