Requiring a Typical Philosophy-Department Ethics Class

Requiring a Typical Philosophy-Department Ethics Class 

Requiring engineering students to enroll in a traditional philosophy-department ethics course is unlikely to be fruitful. Few such courses in the United States pay any attention to ethical issues in engineering. They tend to be concerned with ethical concepts and theories, the nature of ethical reasoning, and the status and justification of ethical judgments. With rare exceptions, the examples explored in such courses typically involve non-professional contexts.
