Abstract(in English) In this article, we explore the function of the engineering ethics and the ethical code of the engineering society in the field experiments. An ethical code of an engineering society has 3 general functions: 1) it declarers its members are excellent in the technical knowledge and skills and the ethical qualities to the public 2) it educates the members the standard of the ethical conduct and the quality which the members may as well have, 3)it enters the members into a social contract with public. Unfortunately, ethical codes in general are not used effectively to foster the social goods and avoid the harms which might be brought by engineers as an outcome of technical practices, especially in Japan. In order to make an ethical code of an engineering society function well, the society must fully have the competence to help the members can conduct ethically in material and emotional aspects and make sanctions entailing with an ethical code work well. If do so, the ethical code will be the source of the trust of public in the society and its members in the technical area when they maintain their technical practices and do filed experiments which can make some troubles.
