Being more powerful in science and technology, their rap idly development and the under determination of their effects, put us in a disastrous risk which is the fundamental reason why we should have the ethics of res possibility. There are many levels in ethical res possibility for engineering. Basically engineering is a process involved with group s and even all the people in the society. This asks the ethics should establish on a new basis. Engineering is a kind of independent social activities that is the realistic foundation that engineering ethics exists and prerequisite of studying it as a kind of discipline.Engineering Ethics in China is still an emerging area of research, has not yet been engineering, ethics and the education sectors sufficient attention. Project designers, policy makers, practitioners and the general leading cadres to constantly enhance the project's ethical awareness, concern the common interests of mankind and long-term development, and in practice, based on the sum up newer and more extensive research. Project-designing is the initial stage of engineering activities, Project decision-making is the most important stage of engineering activities, this article from the engineering design and project engineering described two aspects. Project-designing is not a purely individual act, but rather a systematically social one enriched with cultural significance. It takes environmental protection as its basic ethical principle and humanism as its evaluative criterion. Project-designing ethics is reflected in a unity of scientific spirit and human spirit, a challenge to instrumental reason from the reason of value, and a combination among environmental ethic, technological ethic and social ethic.Engineering Ethics decision-making problem is the core issue, the concrete embodiment of deposit and engineering related to the individual level, professional level, organizational level and social dimensions.
