Yes we need it , else patent violation is easy and will go unaccountable OR simply the rule of contracts and contractual deeds are overlooked Husham .

I agree with dear Aparna Sathya Murthy. Many technologies, methods, designs, and solutions are private properties and shouldn't be treated lightly. Engineering ethic is an important part of a professional engineering certification, and should save a lot of money to engineering project investors and managers. Licensing intellectual property is much cheaper, than be sinking in timeless countless lawsuits.

Dear Aparna Sathya Murthy ,

Dear Len Leonid Mizrah

Thanks for your reply.

Yes. By studying Engineering ethics, the students develop awareness and assessment skill of the likely impact of their future decisions on moral and ethical grounds.

Second, Engineers should be sensitive to ethical questions because engineers who understand the ethical dimension of engineering are better and happier engineers.

Third, good ethical behavior usually leads to good consequences, both for ourselves and for society.
