Abstract

By referring to Confucius Said, the paper holds that virtue is an indispensable factor that guarantees the effects of engineering education. As for its significance in engineering education, virtue displays itself both as a “foundation” and as a “destination”. Regarding its roles in engineering education, virtue respectively serves as a key to promise the responsibility of teachers, a facilitator to ensure the capability of students, and a channel to foresee the harmonious environment of schools. Relating to the suggestions of implementing virtue in engineering education, the paper holds that until we communicate with virtue, virtue is here with us; only through bearing the responsibility of various social beings can virtue have its glory; with the reasonable participation of mercy, virtue can do contributions to our nation and society. Besides, “respect, forgiveness, trustworthiness, diligence, and generosity” are the “five things” to characterize engineering education with perfect virtues.
