The purpose of engineering ethics education is to understand the effects and impacts of technology on society and nature and the responsibilities that engineers have to fulfill for society. There are many cases used in the educational method so that the students can understand the problems surrounding the engineers. However, most of the cases correspond to event scenarios where engineers have failed to maintain safety. Resilience engineering was born from the criticism of safety measures for the purpose of preventing recurrence by seeking human error and organizational culture as the cause of accidents in the field of ergonomics. Its features are that people are considered as beings that realize safety in dangerous systems, and that they focus on good practices. This paper describes the improvement of engineering ethics education by utilizing resilience engineering concept.

Since the FUKUSHIMA-DAIICHI Nuclear Power Plant accident, a significant issue to develop human resources for nuclear and radiation technology has been growing up. A strong effort will be made, based on the serious experiences of troubles/accidents, to restore social confidence by developing engineers having high sense of ethics beyond logic of organization.

The Atomic Energy Society of Japan (founded in 1959; AESJ) establishes the Code of Ethics and organized an ethics committee as a permanent committee in 2001. The mission and the purpose of the Ethics Committee activities permeate through the AESJ members for code of ethics. Members' sense of affiliation with AESJ is not as high as IPEJ. This paper introduce the significance, contents and issues of ethics activities at AESJ.

Seven years have passed since the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), efforts such as regulation based on the 1F accident, further safety measures, safety culture development, etc. were strengthened, and some nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants and research reactors have been restarted. Under these circumstances, the Ethics Committee of AESJ held a planning session several times on the theme of "Ethics of Nuclear Personnel Necessary to Prepare for Disaster" based on the lessons learned in 1F accident. This time, we will present reports and topics on efforts towards safety culture development activities at JAEA on safety culture of nuclear research institutes, as well as some comments from experts, about safety culture and engineer/researcher ethics at nuclear research institutes. We would like to discuss these issues with participants based on those information and make reference to future stakeholders' efforts for their safety culture development.
