| Summary: | Most values and ethical principles are universal; however, the motives to adapt these values are cultural dependent. Thus it became important to equip muslim engineers with the origin of professional ethical principles in Islam. In fact, Islam provides general guidelines for some contemporary issues such as environmental protection, privacy intrusion and priorities in risk analysis.
