Practical use of a debate exercise is discussed for the purpose of education of ethical decision-making for engineers. Two themes are used for cultivation of a broad outlook on engineering ethics. One involves the principal responsibility of the stakeholders in failure cases. The other has to do with validity of whistle-blowing. Proper intervention of lecturers is required to enhance the educational effects. For example, lecturers should evaluate the argument made by student debaters. They also should evaluate judgment made by student judges. The debate prompts the students to understand structures of ethical problems and to devise a schema of problem solving. The latter is enhanced by various exercises such as suggestions of a remedy for ethical problems for student audiences.
