Abstract

By expounding the inseparable relationship between design and engineering ethics, and comparing the current situation of the development of engineering ethics education at home and abroad, we find that there is a big gap between China's design professional education and western developed countries in the training of engineering ethics awareness. It is proposed that the domestic engineering profession, especially the design profession, is in urgent need of cultivating the designer's engineering ethic awareness, so as to improve the professionalism of the design talents and promote the better development of our country's design education.

Highlights

With the rapid development of China's economy, ‘Made in China’ in the development is gradually undergoing industrial transformation to "Created in China" and "China's Intellectual Creation", resulting in a growing demand for design talents
China has become a big country in higher design education, and the state has increased the training of design and innovation talents
Design education calls for ethical awareness

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of China's economy, ‘Made in China’ in the development is gradually undergoing industrial transformation to "Created in China" and "China's Intellectual Creation", resulting in a growing demand for design talents. China has become a big country in higher design education, and the state has increased the training of design and innovation talents. At the same time, accompanied by rapid economic development and intensive construction, a large number of engineering projects and design works that lack ethics and morality have emerged. Based on this status, design education calls for ethical awareness. In the training of engineering ethical awareness, there is a big gap, which affects the degree to a certain extent. In-depth exploration of the designer's ethical awareness in design education in China will play a positive and critical role in the sustainable scientific development of design education

Design and engineering ethics are inseparable
