Engineering Ethics

　　Engineering ethics is attracting increasing interest in engineering universities throughout the nation. At Texas A&M University, evidence of this interest in professional ethics culminated in the creation of a new course in engineering ethics, as well as a project funded by1 the National Science Foundation to develop material for introducing ethical issues into required undergraduate engineering courses. A small group of faculty and administrators actively supported the growing effort at Texas ASM, yet this group must now expand to meet the needs of increasing numbers of students wishing to learn2 more about the value implications of their actions as professional engineers.

　　The increasing concern for the value dimension3 of engineering is, at least in part, a result of the attention that the media has given to cases such as the Challenger disaster, the Kansas City Hyatt-Regency Hotel walkways collapse, and the Exxon oil spill. As a response to this concern, a new discipline, engineering ethics, is emerging. This discipline will doubtless4 take its place5 alongside such well-established fields as medical ethics, business ethics, and legal ethics.

　　The problem presented by this development is that most engineering professors are not prepared to introduce literature in engineering ethics into their classrooms. They are most comfortable with quantitative concepts6 and often do not believe they are qualified to lead class discussions on ethics. Many engineering faculty members do not think that they have the time in an already overcrowded syllabus to introduce discussions on professional ethics, or the time in their own schedules to prepare the necessary material. Hopefully, the resources presented herein will be of assistance.

　　答案與題解：

　　1.C　本文沒有述及engineering ethics是一門必修課，也沒有提到美國所有的理工院校都開設(shè)了這門學(xué)科。

　　2.B　第一段最后一句談到，想修這門學(xué)科的學(xué)生人數(shù)在不斷增加，而本題卻說在不斷減少，所以給出的信息是錯誤的。

　　3.B　the National Science Foundation(全美科學(xué)基金會)只是為編寫有關(guān)工程道德問題的教學(xué)材料提供經(jīng)費，并沒有親自動手編寫。因此，本題給出的信息是錯誤的。

　　4.A　本題給出的信息是正確的。第二段有一句相關(guān)的句子：This discipline will doubtless take its place alongside such well-established fields as medical ethics, business ethics, and legal ethics.從這個句子可以看到，medical ethics, business ethics和legal ethics都是well- established的，其地位也已確立了。engineering ethics這門學(xué)科的地位也將會確立下來。mature這個詞是從本句的含義中引申出來的。

　　5.C　通篇文章都沒有提到教授離職的問題。

　　6.A　本題給出的信息是正確的,根據(jù)是第三段的句子：Many engineering faculty members do not think that they have the time ... in their own schedules to prepare the necessary material。

　　7.A　本題給出的信息是正確的，根據(jù)是第三段的最后一句：Hopefully, the resources presented herein will be of assistance(希望這里提供的資料會有所幫助)。
