Summary/Abstract: The new courses "Ethics and academic integrity" introduced in the curriculum of master's programs complete the educational process with its axiological dimension. In these courses, students and especially student-engineers are confronted with concepts such as morals, values, good conduct. Given the fact that higher education graduates will be part of a society that is developing in a sustainable way, there is an increasing need to identify bridges that link the purely technical training with the ethical aspects of technological development. respecting social and environmental values. This paper presents an argument for teaching the concept of environmental ethics in the new courses "Ethics and academic integrity" to students in the field of engineering, to create an opportunity for them to approach their knowledge from multiple ethical, social and environmental perspectives.
