What is of importance of engineering ethics education is how to properly evaluate whether students have acquired the ability to make ethical judgements. Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) has launched a new curriculum in 2004 in which university-wide engineering ethics education program is realized. As a part of the program, a capstone course, “Science and Engineering Ethics” is taught to 1,700 students by several instructors. It is quite obvious that how to evaluate will be a crucial problem. To mitigate the difficulty, KIT plans to introduce an e-learning tool, Agora, to the course. Developed by Dutch technological universities, it is designed for engineering ethics education. It enables structured analyses of cases, which is essential for engineering ethics education.
