dc.description.abstractIn an era of rapid technological advancement and escalating societal expectations, the effective teaching of engineering ethics has become an indispensable imperative. While traditional pedagogy successfully imparts foundational ethical principles and codes of conduct, a significant body of literature suggests a critical chasm between this theoretical knowledge and the complex, high-pressure realities of professional practice. This study addresses this existing gap between the abstract ethical principles taught in engineering curricula and real-life practice, aiming to empirically investigate the shortcomings of current pedagogical approaches and propose evidence-based recommendations to enhance graduate preparedness. The methodology involved a targeted study with a test group of students, who were assessed through scenarios designed to simulate real-world professional challenges, including conflicts of interest, organizational pressures to cut corners, and psychological factors like obedience to authority. The results revealed a significant discrepancy: while students demonstrated competent theoretical knowledge of ethical codes, they proved largely ill-equipped to apply these principles under simulated organizational pressure, empirically confirming the hypothesized gap. The originality of this research lies in providing empirical validation of the inadequacies in traditional ethics education, moving beyond widespread theoretical critique. It challenges pedagogical models focused solely on abstract principles by demonstrating the decisive impact of organizational and psychological factors on decision-making and refutes the assumption that knowledge of codes is sufficient for ethical practice. Consequently, the findings have profound practical significance, providing a clear mandate for pedagogical change. They form the basis for an actionable framework for educators, advocating for the integration of experiential learning, such as high-fidelity case studies and role-playing, to cultivate practical wisdom and moral courage, thereby offering a blueprint for curriculum enhancement and a foundation for future longitudinal research.
