Ethical issues have been and will always be with humanity because they arise from a basic characteristic of human kind, free will. Free will enables people to react to an identical event in diverse ways, leading to varied outcomes. Some of these outcomes are deemed righteous by society, others are deemed evil. Over the past few centuries, science, technology, and industry have grown exponentially leading to spectacular advancements such as placing a man on the moon, while insufficient attention was paid to the ethical growth of engineers leading to equally spectacular disasters such as environmental pollution. Professional codes of conduct came into being to establish minimum standards to protect the public and to provide moral guidelines to engineers. Codes or dogma became the first pedagogical tool used in teaching engineering ethics followed by heuristics and case studies. </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Simulator for Engineering Ethics Education (SEEE) was created to improve ethical training by incorporating and superseding the current methods of teaching engineering ethics. SEEE benefits from the use of multi-media simulation software and is driven by survey data. SEEE teaches engineering ethics by placing the student in first person, dynamic, interactive, real-time, and scenario based situations simulating ethical dilemmas. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
