Abstract
The greatest challenge in educating engineering students in our country is cultivating human values and engineering ethics in them. If we want to be proud of being an ancient country with great culture and progress in science and technology, we have no other choice but to educate and cultivate ethics and moral values in the country. It is necessary to teach engineering ethics in engineering schools, but more important than that is to cultivate them in our students. An engineering faculty member who possesses morality and ethical values can become a good model for his students. The same applies to the teachers in schools. Engineers with high moral and ethical values can cultivate human values in their colleagues in industry and other work places. The engineering professors, by respecting ethics in education and research can play can cultivate engineering ethics in the young people who spend some of the best years of their lives with them. A code of ethics for engineering faculty is proposed, so that any engineering faculty who wishes can benefit this code, and prepare a similar one for its members. A code that all faculty members of an engineering school get involved in its preparation and its approval will also be respected by them.
