Ethics in engineering don’t teach you to not build weapons for Lockheed Martin. They teach you to not cut corners while you build weapons for Lockheed Martin. It’s about the ethics of the actual engineering process, not what you engineer

People are much more affected by their social environment and material conditions than a miniscule amount of required humanities classes. Most STEM students I know who took humanities classes openly told the other students and sometimes even the teacher that they only took it because it was an easy class

Required ethics and humanities courses doesn’t change the fact that in the West, they graduate into a ton of opportunities worth six figures to do highly unethical shit, and those opportunities were probably the reason why they even chose to study engineering in the first place
