Abstract: 
demand for environmental design professionals has greatly increased, while the problem that how to cultivate their profession ethics in the education phase has gradually become the public focus. However, the current design curriculum syllabus has not yet explored the relationship between professional ethics and the courses by scientific methods, thus resulting in graduates potentially having a cognitive gap on profession ethics. This study first researched the requirements in the industry and by customers. Thereafter, a graph was drawn which is the importance of the code of professional ethics of environmental designers in weight order, through descriptive statistics, and subsequently another was gained which is the importance of compulsory courses in weight order in line with environmental designers' profession ethics education by FuzzyQFD. Finally, the paper put forward some subjects which should be emphasized and strengthened in the curriculum of environmental design so as to nurture student’s profession ethics, and gave some suggestions for adjustment. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference for design curriculum planning and professional ethics education.
