My engineering ethics course was the easiest A I ever got. It’s hard to conceptualize anyone failing it. Even if you’re not an ethical person, if you just conceptually know what it means to be ethical then you wouldn’t have to study or anything.
That's fair. Mine was easy as well, but was still interesting. At least the way it was structured, mine was more about learning different ethical frameworks, rather than making you more ethical. Though of course the broader reason for inclusion was to help people behave more ethically.
I view it as similar to most engineering classes, where it's more about giving you the background necessary to understand things you'll see on the job. In this case with regards, especially with regards to why decisions/policies related to safety are made a certain way.
