As engineering exerts an increasingly profound impact on human society and the natural world, large scale, comprehensiveness, complexity, and growing engineering influence have become prominent characteristics of modern engineering. Putting the public's safety, health, and well-being first has become a universally observed principle in the international engineering community. Correspondingly, engineering ethics literacy and ethical judgment ability have evolved into core competencies for engineering professionals, and engineering ethics education has thus become an essential component in the cultivation of professional master's degree postgraduates. This paper analyzes the problems existing in engineering ethics education for postgraduates majoring in chemical engineering at local colleges and universities in China. To address these issues, the study proposes establishing an engineering ethics education community in the field of chemical engineering and constructing as well as implementing an embedded engineering ethics education system. Firstly, it proposes establishing a chemical engineering ethics education community to form a joint force for engineering ethics education. Secondly, it suggests building an embedded engineering ethics education system featuring the framework of "course foundation-guidance improvement-practice leap". Finally, it advocates building a composite teaching team and enriching engineering ethics education resources. Through teaching reform and practice, this study aims to address the common difficulties in engineering ethics education for chemical engineering postgraduates and enhance the quality of talent cultivation.
