This paper explores ways in which service-learning programs can enhance ethics education in engineering. Service-learning programs combine volunteer work and academic study. The National Society for Professional Engineers (NSPE) and American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) codes of ethics explicitly encourage engineers to seek opportunities, beyond their work-related responsibilities, to serve their communities. Examples of how this can be encouraged as a part of the educational experiences of engineering students are explored.
本文探讨了服务学习项目可以加强工程伦理教育的方式。服务学习项目将志愿工作与学术研究结合起来。美国国家专业工程师协会(NSPE)和美国土木工程师协会(ASCE)的道德规范明确鼓励工程师在工作职责之外寻找机会为社区服务。本文探讨了如何将此作为工科学生教育经历的一部分加以鼓励的实例。
