工程伦理准则与工程师的伦理责任

工程师作为工程活动的主体,在工作过程中会遇到各种伦理问题.工程伦理是调整工程与技术、工程与社会之间关系的道德规范,对工程师的伦理行为和工程建设起着引导、规范、开拓等重要作用.工程伦理准则包括五个方面:以人为本、关爱生命、安全可靠、关爱自然、公平正义.工程师的社会职责事关人类的前途和命运,工程师要对工程活动的全面社会意义和长远社会影响建立自觉的认识,承担起全部的社会责任.在当前高等工程教育改革深入开展的情况下,加强理工科高校工程伦理教育是一个不容忽视的问题.理工科高校要开设工程伦理课程,采取有效措施加强工程伦理教育.

Engineering Morality and Engineers' Ethical Obligation

Engineers,as the integral part of any engineering projects,will certainly face various ethic issues all the way in their practice.Engineering morality plays the role crucial to every engineer in regulating the ethical relations between engineering,technology and society,thus affecting greatly the behavior of engineers and engineering quality to normalize and guide them.Engineers are supposed to abide by their professional integrity,covering such principles as people first,love and care of life,safety/reliability,environmental friendliness and equality/justice.Therefore,engineers' social obligations are deeply concerned with human future and fortune.Engineers are expected to be aware of their social consciousness and bear full responsibility for all relevant consequences.As to the reform and development of higher engineering education,strengthening and improving the engineering morality education is an imperative task to which the related courses should be offered effectively.
