Abstract :
In the context of society and social and public activities, individual ethics cannot be expected to be effective enough in the professional field; However, it can create synergy. Professional ethics from the perspective of the Qur'an and the lives of the innocents (peace be upon them) is generally based on several main principles, which include respect for the dignity and freedom of human beings, attention to society's values, usefulness and non-harming, justice and accountability. According to the rich teachings of Islam, it is obligatory for the general society to observe these principles. Factors such as strengthening faith, organizational affiliation, commitment, refraining from conflicts of interest, honesty and trustworthiness are considered a type of executive guarantee for regulations and ethical codes. Depending on the type of thoughts and an engineer's adherence to values and moral principles, his performance is different; In fact, one cannot deny the ideological and social beliefs of an engineer in his professional practice; Therefore, in the field of engineering ethics, we are forced to study the successful experiences of the world's thinkers, localize the regulations according to the culture and capacity of the society, train experienced professors and teach in universities and other scientific centers.
