Ethics has been a controversial topic throughout the greater good of time, however more recently ethics seems to be playing more of a role in our everyday lives no matter the career or lifestyles of a person. With engineering being pushed to the limit everyday and new technological advances on the rise, we start seeing various direct and indirect impacts on people and the world. For example, the topics regarding engineering and its correlation to Climate Change or the use of Robotics and its impacts on industry. In this Research Paper, we will investigate how Engineering Ethics plays a role on a more relatable level. We will investigate the role Engineering Ethics plays on the students of Worcester Polytechnic Institute(WPI) and how WPI has an impact on students when it comes to teaching Ethics and motivating students about ethics through the actions of the Institute. Moreover, in this report we will examine what exactly WPI has done to practice sustainability and ethics, and what the school can do to be better.
