Abstract
Institutions of higher education in engineering, such as universities and technical colleges, are starting to offer classes in ethics for technicians and engineers. However, at the moment, most educational institutions are exploring for an easy-to-understand method of teaching these technical ethics classes to students. This paper reports on the results of omnibus style classes in “ethics for engineers”, conducted by 6 professional engineers actively engaged as technical personnel. The effects of these classes were tested in a mock preliminary engineer examination. The exam results indicate that students' capacity to comprehend and analyze ethical issues for technicians had improved relative to their level before attending the lectures.
