Engineering Ethics Engineering Ethics has come into question as a result of incidents such as the Challenger disaster, the collapse of the Kansas City Hyatt-Regency Hotel walkways, and the Exxon oil spill. Engineering ethics encompasses the understanding and application of ethical processes within the engineering profession and with the public. The following links provide resources designed to educate society on ethics in the engineering profession, and to allow professional engineers to discuass and deliberate on issues that come about in their work lives. Professional Organizations American Society of Mechanical Engineers Technology and Society Division The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Technology and Society Division addresses the issues of social responsibilities of the engineering profession and the impact of technological progress on society. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Ethics Committee The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Ethics Committee has a code of ethics by which Electrical and Electonics Engineers are to follow. IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology The Society on Social Implications of Technology of the IEEE discusses issues such as environmental, health and safety implications of technology; engineering ethics and professional responsibility; history of electrotechnology; technical expertise and public policy; peace technology; and social issues related to energy, information technology and telecommunications.

[Home Page] Trustworthy Research Guest Editor: Caroline Whitbeck Volume 1, No. 4 (October, 1995) This special issue advances the study of ethical research conduct beyond the quasi-legal discussions of criteria for research misconduct that have dominated discussion of research conduct since the mid 1980s. Although clear criteria and good procedures for handling misconduct charges are important, this issue makes a major contribution to the recently reawakened interest in the subtler and more common concerns that bear on trustworthy research conduct. It examines the interconnections among the ethical problems that arise in research and offers potential means for strengthening the morally sound and well-founded trust on which the research enterprise depends.

COLLEGE HOME LEHIGH HOME SEARCH Engineering Ethics Whether or not it draws on new scientific research, technology, is a branch of moral philosophy, not of science. It aims at prudent goods for the commonweal and to provide efficient means for these goods . As a moral philosopher, a technician should be able to criticize the programs given him [or her] to implement. Paul Goodman Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. Bertrand Russell Morality provides one possibility of settling conflict, a way of encompassing conflict which allows the continuance of personal relationships against the hard and apparently inevitable fact of misunderstanding, mutually incompatible wishes, commitments, loyalties, interests, and needs . We do not have to agree with one another in order to live in the same moral world, but we do have to know and respect one another’s differences. Stanley Cavell Source: Martin and Schinzinger (1989) Recent events, including the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, reinforce the importance of ethics to the engineering profession.

The New Engineer Your ethical obligations go further than you might think Sharon Beder This was article was published as Sharon Beder, 'Your ethical obligations go further than you might think', Engineers Australia , July 1998, p. 56. This is a final version submitted for publication. Minor editorial changes may have subsequently been made. Are an engineer's ethical obligations discharged once they report their concerns to their superiors? Should an engineer feel that that their ethical duties have been fulfilled when they have warned their employers of dangers to public welfare, health and safety, even though those employers have not acted on that warning? Can ethical obligations be transferred to others so easily? Not according to the US National Society for Professional Engineering (NSPE) in a case involving a city engineer.* The engineer was the most senior engineer working for the city council, reporting directly to the City Administrator. The engineer was responsible for waste disposal and had informed the City Administrator and some councillors that the city's waste disposal plant could not adequately handle the waste flow during rainy periods. In such circumstances there was a legal obligation to inform the state water pollution control authority of the situation. Upon being infromed of the situation the City Administrator transferred responsibility for the plant from the engineer to a technician and the engineer was instructed not to discuss the matter further or she would lose her job. The pollution control authority was not informed. During the following months storms occurred which caused the plant to overflow into the river which was a water supply to others downstream.

29. ASME PPC - Engineering Profession: Ethics engineering. Professional ethics are not just a personal preferenceestablished and governed by the individual engineer. Because http://www.professionalpractice.asme.org/engineering/ethics/

Overview: What exactly is "ethics?" In the literal context, ethics can be defined as "a body of moral principles." Professional ethics and conduct constitutes a set of rules and behaviors which facilitates effective interaction on professional matters. In this respect, ethical rules are very much like laws or standards that govern social and professional interactions. Ethical behavior may broadly be equated with the respect for one's colleagues, and for their rights. Engineering is similar to professions such as law and medicine in that it has specialized knowledge, the privilege of self-regulation, and a responsibility to the public. We use our training and abilities to benefit society, and society expects that we will oversee and regulate the performance of our fellow engineers. Thus, our education and our professional practice must consider the ethical dimensions of engineering. Professional ethics are not just a personal preference established and governed by the individual engineer. Because of the importance of professional behavior, most companies and professional societies have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit. Overall, the codes tend to be very similar. The ASME codes

34. Engineering Ethics modified their code of ethics to remove provisions (1) prohibiting competitive biddingfor engineering services and (2) supplanting of one engineer by another. http://azspe.org/azdesigns/azdsn3_00/ethics.htm

By Arthur E. Schwartz, NSPE General Counsel Engineer A is requested to review, sign, and seal a set of drawings prepared by another design professional not under the engineer’s direct personal supervision. Should he sign and seal the drawings? Engineer B is requested to serve as an expert witness during litigation involving a project which his firm performed services for another party involved in the same litigation. Is this acceptable conduct? Engineer C learns that his employer is violating environmental regulations relating to acceptable toxicity levels of waste materials being released by the employer’s industrial facility. Does he report this fact to the public authorities or the media? Engineer D , pursuing a Ph.D., deliberately omits certain information from the doctoral thesis because it might raise doubts concerning certain conclusions in the theory. Can you ethically do this? These are just the “tip of the iceberg” of the many ethical issues constantly confronting engineers on a daily basis. Why Codes of Ethics?

35. Is Engineering Ethics Optional engineering ethics in such situations often boiled down to a question ofwhether the engineer had done the job according to specifications. http://www.njcc.com/~techsoc/stephan.html

Is Engineering Ethics Optional? Karl D. Stephan Once upon a time, less than a third of a representative sample of U.S. engineering educators considered the study of differential equations to be necessary for an engineer's education. When the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education surveyed over 500 teachers of engineering during the 1920s, it found that only 29% of the instructors believed that differential equations were of primary importance in the standard engineering curriculum [1]. Needless to say, times have changed. Engineering is now vastly more sophisticated technically than it was eighty years ago. All engineering students must now study differential equations, because the profession now considers a person with no understanding of differential equations to be ill-equipped for modern engineering practice. Engineering schools in the U.S. stand today in relation to the teaching of engineering ethics in much the same way that they stood in relation to the teaching of differential equations in the 1920s. Judging by the requirements of current U.S. engineering curricula, engineering ethics is a valuable elective, perhaps, and a course that should be required in some disciplines, but by no means all. In the 1920s, fewer than a third of U.S.

38. Session 445 The engineer typically learns ethics by observing professionals with whomthey associate. Those rules are founded on engineering ethics. http://www.pa.utulsa.edu/CIEC/Abstracts/degrace.html

Thursday, February 5, 2004 - 2:00pm - 3:30pm Session 445 BEST PRACTICES IN TEACHING AND APPLYING ETHICS Sponsored by ETD BEST PRACTICES IN TEACHING AND APPLYING ENGINEERING ETHICS (IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR) Thomas DeGrace, PE, Director of Projects Ethics is generally defined as a body of moral principles or values governing a group. In the private sector, engineering ethics are essential to the long-term success of a company as well as the individual. Considering how important ethics are, it is surprising that most companies' training programs lack a strong emphasis and formal training on them. New engineering and engineering technology graduates are widely expected to conduct themselves in an ethical manner by their employers. The standards, however, are ambiguous. As the new graduate gains experience and responsibility, their interaction with clients and regulatory agencies grows. This growth is in direct proportion to the importance of maintaining engineering ethics. The engineer typically learns ethics by observing professionals with whom they associate. As the engineer prepares for professional licensure, the State Boards of Professional Engineering place some emphasis on the importance of engineering ethics. Many states require applicants to learn State Board Rules that regulate the practice of engineering. Those rules are founded on engineering ethics. Many State Boards require continuing education to maintain professional licensure; however, only a handful concentrate on engineering ethics. Florida is one of the few states to focus on ethics. It requires licensures to include eight hours of professional development education in engineering ethics in order to renew their registration. Many licensures achieve these hours by attending State Board meetings at which violations of rules and regulations are heard and disciplinary actions administered. As a result, ethics are taught by observing consequences of unethical behavior.
