I'm really skeptical as to the value of these courses. I agree absolutely that ethics/morals/ etc. are essential things to learn and develop. I don't agree they can really be learnt in the classroom. Many of these things (e.g. ethics) are emotional intelligence skills that don't really respond to standard study. In engineering school I did all these courses and didn't get any benefit from them, other than some academic knowledge of Kantian vs Utilitarian ethics.
