Abstract
THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS AN EXPLORATIVE LITERATURE RESEARCH OF THE PAST AND CURRENT TREND OF ENGINEERING ETHICS RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING ETHICS EDUCATION RESEARCH . MAJOR SUBTHEMES ABOUT ENGINEERING AND ETHICS ARE IDENTIFIED AND THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTICLES IN THIS FIELD ARE CONSI DERED. THE DISCUSSIONS ON RESEARCH TRENDS ARE BASED ON INFORMATION GATHERED USING BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE METHODS. RESEARCH DATA SHOWED AN INCREASING INTEREST IN APPROACHING ETHICS FROM THE ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ANALYSIS IS RELATED TO THE NECESSITY OF INCORPORATING ETHICAL ASPECTS IN ENGINEERING STUDENTS EDUCATION FOR MAKING THEM A WARE AND RESPONSIBLE OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES.
