HUBUNGAN ANTARA FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI KESEDIAAN PELAJAR TERHADAP AMALAN ETIKA PROFESIONAL JURUTERA (THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENT’S READLINESS TO PRACTICE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF ENGINEERS)
Abstract
ABSTRAK
Faktor kesediaan pengetahuan, sikap dan persekitaran merupakan aspek penting kepada para pelajar kejuruteraan dalam memahami dan mengamalkan etika profesional jurutera. Pembentukan etika profesional jurutera dalam kalangan pelajar sewajarnya bermula di peringkat pengajian di universiti. Etika professional ialah etika yang melibatkan nilai dan tingkah laku individu. Memahami amalan etika yang baik dapat membantu para pelajar dalam mengamalkan etika apabila mereka berada di dalam bidang pekerjaan kelak. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan di antara faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kesediaan pelajar kejuruteraan dalam amalan etika profesional jurutera. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan borang selidik bagi mendapatkan maklumat balas berkaitan kajian. Seramai 157 orang responden yang terdiri daripada pelajar kejuruteraan telah menjawab borang soal selidik yang diedarkan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensi dengan menggunakan perisian SPSS versi 22.0. Diharapkan dapatan kajian ini dapat memberi maklumat awal berkaitan persediaan pelajar dalam menyediakan diri sebagai seorang jurutera profesional.

ABSTRACT
Factors of knowledge readiness, attitudes and environments are important aspects for engineering students in understanding and practicing the professional ethics of engineers. The formation of professional engineering ethics among students should begin at the tertiary level. Professional ethics involves personal values and behaviour. Recognising the best ethical practices can help students to practice them at the workplace in the future. This study aimed to identify the relationship between factors which influenced engineering students’ readiness in practicing the professional ethics of engineers. A survey was conducted by using questionnaires to obtain feedback for the study. A total of 157 engineering students became the respondents for the questionnaires. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0 software to obtain the descriptive and inferential statistics. It is hoped that the findings of this study can provide preliminary information related to the students’ readiness in preparing themselves to become professional engineers.
