Do you have a source for ethics education and engineering? I've never heard of this being something that most engineers are taught (in the US).

My CS program contains a 1 credit hour course on ethics in computing. I believe this is required as part of the ABET accreditation process: http://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/cri...
http://bulletin.csusb.edu/colleges-schools-departments/natur... At least at my college it was a required course for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. CSE 488 Ethics and the Computing Professional
Definitely had to take an ethics course when I went to Waterloo (in Ontario, Canada). I believe it's a requirement for a university's program to receive Engineering accreditation. At any rate, all engineers took it.
