Unfortunately, ethics is not a course taught in most college majors, and is virtually non-existent in public schools.

Is it not? Every major at my STEM uni was required to take an ethics course. Sometimes multiple, depending on the field.

I graduated relatively recently, and only had to take one- it turned out to be a semester long "piracy is bad" course.

Ethics courses don't make anyone more or less ethical. If lectures were any effective in shaping anyone's moral compass, church services wouldn't happen so often.
