Engineering ethic – course at University of Montenegro

  • 1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro

Abstract

This paper gives the presentation of the engineering ethic course at The University of Montenegro.
Several events that as engineering, but not only as engineering, solutions had catastrophic consequences influenced the popularization and more and more frequent considerations of the engineering ethic, hence it forced the engineering profession to face with deficiencies in technical and executing practice, as well as the standards of etic.
There are few universities in the world in the area of technical faculties where an engineering ethic is studied. The syllabus of engineering ethic at The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Podgorica has been divided into six parts, according to the principles and standards of traditional ways of the studying engineering ethic.
