Abstract: The paper has analyzed engineering ethics forward position field from the journal attracting together , the author attracts together , the document attracts together three angles through the latest method and Visualization technology (cite space software)of Science metrology. The data that the paper used are downloaded from Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and indexed by the topic words “engineering ethics”. This article drew the forefront knowledge map of engineering ethics, presented the process of development and evolution and the status quo in engineering ethics, thereby the forefront issues in the field of scientific and engineering technology ethics demonstrated. The research of engineering ethics is to be in the ascendant in our country, but has already entered institutionalization stage abroad. So in this phase, to analyze the achievement of international engineering ethics in frontier domains has important meaning to the building-up and development of engineering ethics in our country.

Key words: Engineering Ethics, Frontier Domains, Visualization, Knowledge mapping

摘要： 本文以社会科学引文索引(SSCI)为源数据库,以“engineering ethics”为主题词进行检索,将检索到的所有数据进行下载后,运用科学计量学的最新方法——可视化技术(citespace软件)对这些数据从期刊共引、作者共引、文献共引三个角度进行了统计分析。本文绘制了工程技术伦理前沿领域的知识图谱,分析了工程伦理学发展演化的过程以及工程伦理学的现状,从而展示出科学与工程技术伦理领域的前沿问题。对于工程伦理的研究,在我国方兴未艾,但在国外已进入建制化阶段,因此,在这个阶段分析工程伦理学发展演化的过程及其前沿成果对我国工程伦理学的建立和发展有重要的意义。
