Research On Environmental Ethics In Engineering From The Perspective Of Procedual And Context

Professional ethics focus on the engineer’s professional ethics that is mainly responsible for the employer. Environmental ethics focus on wether environment has intrinsic value. Environmental Ethics in engineering highlights the public interest and ethical concern for the environment.The reality shows that it is necessary and possible to do some research on it.From the aspect of engineering itself,engineering is the base of the environmental ethics. Engineering is present in a particular time and space, it is human’s proposal activity. Every stage of engineering construction is related to environmental.Therefor,environmental ethics in engineering is characteristic of procedual. Being influenced by various natural and social factors,the environmental ethics in engineering also has the characteristics of context.Engineers know how the project will affect.So,they should take their share of responsibility. Managers or decision-makers who make the final decision also have their responsibility,they should talk with others.A good project needs dialogue between engineers, managers and the public which includes environment. As the professionals,it is particular important to emphasize the responsibility and moral sense of engineers.Certification is the passage for an engineer’s work, the standard should be more strict. As the future engineers,the students major in engineering should improve their moral consciousness and practical ability. All of these help produce a good job.Only when.we respect nature, can engineering proceed smoothly; just break epistemology of subject-object dichotomy can we review our behavior in nature and by caring for the environment, can human beings make better use of nature,that can help us realize our ecological survival.
