Summary: 
This paper aims to synthesize effective approaches to teaching engineering ethics to students at university level. The researchers applied theoretical research methods (synthetic analysis), then searched for literature in ERIC, Google Scholar, and Vietnamese scientific information system. A total of 18 literatures directly related to the subject of teaching engineering ethics are selected for review. The results from the literature review show that there are 12 effective approaches to teaching engineering ethics for students. The significance of this study is to provide teachers with quick and effective approaches to teaching engineering ethics to their students.
