Zusammenfassung:The next generation of engineers may develop a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions of their profession, thanks to a movement to include ethics in the undergraduate curriculum at many engineering colleges. The trend is part of a larger goal of integrating liberal arts into the engineering curriculum.
