Increasing university students' engagement with ethics is becoming a prominent call to action for higher education institutions, particularly professional schools like business and engineering. This paper provides an examination of student attitudes regarding ethics and their perceptions of ethics coverage in the curriculum at one institution. A particular focus is the comparison between results in the business college, which has incorporated ethics in the curriculum and has been involved in ethics education for a longer period, with the engineering college, which is in the nascent stages of developing ethics education in its courses. Results show that student attitudes and perceptions are related to the curriculum. In addition, results indicate that it might be useful for engineering faculty to use business faculty as resources in the development of their ethics curricula.
提高大学生对伦理学的参与度，正成为高等教育机构（尤其是商学院和工程学院等专业院校）的一项重要行动号召。本文考察了一所高校学生对伦理学的态度，以及他们对课程中伦理学内容的看法。本文特别关注商学院（该学院已将伦理学纳入课程，并在伦理学教育方面投入了更长时间）与工程学院（该学院正处于在课程中开展伦理学教育的初期阶段）之间的差异。研究结果表明，学生的态度和看法与课程有关。此外，结果还表明，工程学院的教师在制定其伦理学课程时，可以利用商学院的教师作为资源。
