Abstract

With the rapid development of the social economy, humans have continuously consumed natural resources and damaged the natural environment, leading to numerous environmental pollution incidents. Eventually, humans have come to view the environmental pollution issues arising from engineering activities rationally. Engineers, who hold a central position in the decision-making and implementation stages of engineering projects, play an extremely important role. Studying and analyzing the environmental ethical responsibilities of engineers not only directly affects every aspect of engineering activities, but also indirectly influences the state of the national ecological environment.
