Engineering education is at the intersection of technical mastery and societal responsibility. Ethics and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have emerged as critical components of this educational framework. This paper explores the relationship between ethics and DEI in engineering education, highlighting their interdependence and their roles in shaping socially responsible engineers. By examining current practices, challenges, and opportunities, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how engineering programs can integrate these values effectively. In today’s rapidly evolving world, the integration of Ethics and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is becoming increasingly crucial in engineering education. As engineering plays a pivotal role in shaping society and advancing technology, it is essential to ensure that these developments are guided by ethical principles and are inclusive of diverse perspectives.
