Based on the comparative perspective of engineering ethics education in China and USA, this paper proposes engineering ethics education mode with Chinese characteristics based on the curriculum ideological and political education approach. The teaching objectives emphasize the guidance of mainstream values; the education theme focuses on carrying out the requirements of moral education in engineering professional courses; the teaching method highlights the infiltration education under the concept of curriculum education. This mode is helpful to broaden the theme of engineering ethics from the perspective of the organic combination of engineering technology and humanistic education, engineering discipline culture and professional ethos. Engineering ethics education, as the part of localization strategy in curriculum ideological and political education, should strengthen system guarantee, strengthen the concept recognition of teachers, construct a collaborative mechanism for teachers, and enhance the infiltration education effect.
