| Abstract | The authors share their experience in teaching electrical engineering students the ethical, social, safety, and economic considerations in engineering practice. The exercises take the form of a trial where the students have to defend their judgments. The approach is found to be successful in helping students to understand the true meaning of being an engineering professional. Professional ethics and hypothetical accident scenarios are presented. |
