| description | This article presents some reflections on ethics in mathematics classes in engineering majors. We conceptualize ethics as the forms of relationship with the other or the otherness forms. Once the production and learning of mathematics are conceived as processual events that occur in concrete human practice, ethics is considered an inescapable element to consider, as the theory of objectification suggests. In the first part, this study addresses a brief contextualization of the relationship between mathematics teaching and learning and engineering from an ethical point of view. Then, an approach to Radford's theory of objectification and its ethical position is presented. In the third part, this study addresses an instrument design that allowed to explore preliminarily in a group of university mathematics professors the types of ethics applied in the classrooms. The fourth part of the article focuses on the analysis of the responses. Finally, we present some reflections and suggestions for future studies. |

En este artículo presentamos algunas reflexiones acerca de la ética en las clases de matemáticas en carreras de ingeniería. Conceptualizamos la ética como las formas de relación con el otro, o formas de alteridad. Así que, desde el mismo momento en que la producción y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas se conciben como acontecimientos procesuales que ocurren en la práctica humana concreta, como sugiere la teoría de la objetivación, la ética resulta ser un elemento ineludible de considerar. En la primera parte abordamos una breve contextualización de la relación entre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas y la ingeniería desde una mirada ética. Presentamos luego una aproximación a la teoría de la objetivación de Radford y planteamos su postura ética. Posteriormente abordamos, en la tercera parte de este artículo, el diseño de un instrumento que nos permite explorar preliminarmente con un grupo de profesores de matemáticas universitarias los tipos de ética que pueden estar operando en las aulas de clase. El análisis de las respuestas al instrumento lo abordamos en la cuarta parte del artículo y, finalmente, presentamos algunas reflexiones y sugerencias de estudios futuros.
