Abstract: After over one hundred years' development, the ethic code of engineering has become an important part of engineering professional development and system. It has contributed to the improvement of engineering professionalism and the development of technological innovation. Based on the historical development of engineering ethic code, a comparative analysis of engineering ethic code and scientific ethic code is given, and the representations and root causes of the cognitive errors in China's engineering ethics are pointed out. Moreover, it is suggested that the development of autonomous, independent engineering professional organizations and the construction of engineering career systems should be strengthened, thus promoting the formulation and improvement of China's engineering ethic code, so as to improve engineering professionalism and technological innovation.

Key words: engineering ethic code, scientific ethic code, engineering professionalism
