A joint effort by the University of California at Berkeley and Delft University of Technology to develop a graduate engineering ethics course for PhD students encountered two types of challenges: academic and institutional. Academically, long-term collaborative research efforts between engineering and philosophy faculty members might be needed before successful engineering ethics courses can be initiated; the teaching of ethics to engineering graduate students and collaborative research need to go hand-in-hand. Institutionally, both bottom-up approaches at the level of the faculty and as a joint research and teaching effort, and top-down approaches that include recognition by a University's administration and the top level of education management, are needed for successful and sustainable efforts to teach engineering ethics.
加州大学伯克利分校和代尔夫特理工大学合作开发一门博士生工程伦理课程，他们遇到了两类挑战：学术方面和制度方面的挑战。学术方面，在开设成功的工程伦理课程之前，工程学和哲学教师之间可能需要进行长期的合作研究；向工程学研究生教授伦理学以及合作研究需要齐头并进。制度方面，无论是自下而上的教师层面的方法，还是作为联合研究和教学工作的方法，还是包括大学管理层和最高教育管理层认可的自上而下的方法，对于成功和可持续地教授工程伦理学都是必要的。
