摘要
An overview is given on three myths common in engineering ethics: that the first codes of engineering ethics put loyalty to client or employer ahead of the public interest; that engineering codes of ethics should be mere (moral) guides rather than (legalistic) rules; and that codes of engineering ethics are too vague to provide much guidance. For each myth, one example of a prominent writer in engineering ethics who treated it as obviously true is given.
