ABSTRACT

This opening section of our handbook delves into the foundational principles, topics, and themes that underpin the multifaceted landscape of engineering ethics education. While the term ‘foundations’ may suggest a definitive framework, we embrace the dynamic and evolving nature of ethical discourse within engineering practice, teaching, and research. Recognizing ethics as an ongoing dialogue, we approach this section humbly, acknowledging our vibrant research and teaching community's perpetual flux of perspectives and priorities.
