Abstract
While teaching engineering ethics to students at Shinshu University, we have observed an increased consciousness of engineering ethics according to their grade level. We surveyed the students through a questionnaire to further investigate this matter. Our interest is in the followings ; students' engineering ethical framework before formal university classes, their experience discussing such topics with their families, as well as their level of confidence to handle ethical problems upon graduation in their professional career. This survey confirms that formal classes of engineering ethics bring students to higher levels of consciousness with regards to engineering ethics. The JABEE program is effective to a great extent in this matter.
