Abstract
Although Ethics and Engineering have existed as separate academic entities for a long time, it is only comparatively recently that the former formally became a part of the engineering profession and an accepted component of an engineering curriculum. This paper provides a comment as how this may have come about, and relates the author's experiences in two successive years of presenting Ethics to engineering undergraduates at his university. Furthermore, it suggests how this important part of engineering education can be introduced into an already overcrowded engineering curriculum.
