抄録

This paper responds to the theme of the symposium by examining several ethical issues in engineering practice and by proposing the construction of engineering ethics programs. First, the author gives his definition of "engineering ethics, " based on the definition of "engineering" by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Then, a number of aspects of the central role played by "values" in ethical decisions in engineering practice are discussed . The author introduces the concept of an "engineering ethics program" through which the members of the engineering profession can share values with their fellow members as well as with the public.<BR>The paper also points out the importance of engineering ethics education, as a part of the engineering ethics program, in order to "control technology, " with emphasis on the importance of helping individual engineers develop their moral autonomy. The discussion then turns to a brief description of the history and current state of engineering ethics education. The relationship between learned professions and codes of ethics is discussed with emphasis on the functions of a code in an engineering ethics program. The paper concludes by pointing out foreseeable problems in introducing ethics education into engineering curriculam and by providing possible solutions to them. A call for transdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, philosophers, and experts from various fields is made, so as to design and develop engineering ethics programs in Japan.
