RESEARCHING THE EFFECTS OF SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES ON THE ETHICAL ATTITUDE LEVEL OF GEOMATICS ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Abstract
The importance of ethical behaviour has increased gradually in today's business life, and people who are unaware of ethical rules and requirements are not preferred by employers, customers and employees has been observed. For this purpose, the course of engineering ethics (professional ethics) was put into the syllabus as compulsory for geomatics engineering students undergraduate and graduate education programs in Turkey by Higher Education Council in order to teach ethic principals and professional responsibility and to gain the ability to query professional dilemmas. This study was planned to examine the engineering ethics attitude levels of geomatics engineering students taking the professional ethics course, and to determine the effect of socio-demographic variables on the attitude levels of engineering ethics. The sample of the study consisted of 224 students who voluntarily participated in the survey. In the research, Engineering Ethics Scale and Socio-Demographic Data Collection Form consisting of 21 items were used. In the analysis of the data, number / percentage analysis, Shapiro Wilk, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests with Bonferroni correction were used. Significance level was accepted as 0.05 in statistical analysis. In the study, it was determined that the students who took the professional ethics course had high engineering ethics attitude levels, and there was a statistically significant relationship between the variables of gender, age and socio-economic status and engineering ethics attitude levels.
