Abstract

The importance of an education that includes the study of engineering ethics and social responsibilities was investigated. As part of the educational program on engineering ethics and social responsibilities, case studies which examined the corruption of judges and prosecutors, and examples of illegal judgment were reviewed. The document analysis method and questionnaire inquiry method were used. It was found that social responsibility education was much more important than engineering ethics education and that societal corruption cannot be eliminated by engineering ethics education alone.
