Is there evidence of a gap between engineering ethics education for engineering students and the ethics realities of contemporary engineering practice If there is, does it suggest that the gap is substantial Consider the following. 

I shall proceed on the plausible assumption that such a disconnect exists and is substantial. Why is it important to bridge or at least narrow the gap between engineering-related ethics education and the ethics realities of contemporary engineering practice ... 

In short, there are individual, organizational, and societal reasons why providing engineering students with meaningful engineering-related ethics education makes excellent sense. 

If a non-engineer guest instructor with expertise in engineering ethics provides the engineering-related ethics education, it is Ukely to be limited to one or two lectures. Unfortunately, class members will almost inevitably perceive the (limited) material covered in such sessions as peripheral to the course. Moreover, the material covered will probably not be well integrated (by the main... 

I agree that US engineering-ethics education has leaned too heavily on engineering society codes of ethics, used too many contrived hypothetical and thin real cases, neglected the social nature of engineering work, and sought tidy...

C. To improve the qualifications and usefulness of chemists and chemical engineers through high standards of professional ethics, education and attainment. 

The idea of jus ante bellum has received very little attention, and then always from the viewpoint of military personnel. One appraisal has focused on the ethical education of personnel at a naval academy, ywj in disciplina bellica [36]. Another tentative proposal has suggested that it might be used as a term for the preparations necessary to produce a competent and effective military force capable of delivering just war [37]. However, the present proposal is much broader in scope and is concerned with the resources used in preparation for war, or to avert war. This consideration may also be viewed as an opportunity of professional capabilities, as described in Chap. 2, arising from the immense suffering which remains unalleviated as resources are diverted to the production of weapons. 

To this purpose, green chemistry education links with other educational domains chemical education in general, education aimed at fostering science literacy, and ethics education. 

Interfaces and integration with ethical considerations and ethics education are fundamental to link the dissemination/acquisition of information and knowledge with the adoption of environmentally friendly behaviour patterns.
