In order to solve a series of problems brought about by rapid development of science and technology, it is necessary not only to conduct in-depth research on science and technology ethics, but also to strengthen ethics education in science and technology. China's five technical universities (5TU) exemplify the specific situation and characteristics of ethics at Chinese technical universities, and can be compared to the situation in South Africa. China's ethics education in the 5TU emphasizes the use of traditional ideological and cultural resources, and practical cases. The teaching methods focus on combining traditional Chinese ethics with foreign experience and teaching methods, aiming at cultivating students' ability to solve specific problems in the real world. This paper also evaluates and reflects on the short-term and long-term effects of China's ethics education in science and technology, revealing some special problems. Ethics education in science and technology at the 5TU is based on the principle of "unity of knowledge and behaviour". It is hoped that China's ethics education founded on traditional Chinese thought, can make a valuable contribution to the development of global engineering ethics.
为了解决科学技术快速发展带来的一系列问题，不仅需要深入研究科学技术伦理，还需要加强科学技术伦理教育。中国的五所工科大学（5TU）是中国工科大学伦理的具体情况和特点的代表，可以与南非的情况相比较。中国五所工科大学的伦理教育强调利用传统思想文化资源和实际案例。教学方法侧重于将中国传统伦理与外国经验和教学方法相结合，旨在培养学生解决现实世界中具体问题的能力。本文还对中国科学技术伦理教育的短期和长期效果进行了评价和反思，揭示了一些特殊问题。五所工科大学的科学技术伦理教育遵循“知行合一”的原则。希望中国以中国传统思想为基础的伦理教育，能够为全球工程伦理的发展做出有价值的贡献。
