  • Abstract
    Because engineering decisions regarding infrastructure and consumer products affect everyone, students enrolled in non-engineering curricula can also benefit from examining issues of engineering ethics. The article explores methodologies and topics for acquainting non-engineering students with engineering ethics, including a short background of a professional ethics course.
