The engineering profession, both military and civilian, has long been concerned with ethical practice. The last 15 years have seen an increased emphasis in the area of engineering ethics in Western universities. In general, the approaches developed for civilian engineering ethics education are being used in military-technical academies. However, given that professional pressures for the practicing military engineer differ from civilian counterparts, how should engineering ethics education be provided at a military-technical academy? This paper identifies professional issues unique to the military engineer. Practical suggestions for ethics education at military-technical academies are provided which exploit the unique strengths of these institutions.
