onlineethics.org The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Cases on Engineering Practice Ethics Discussion Cases based on cases considered by the Board of Ethical Review (BER) of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) These brief cases present situations that raise ethical questions common in engineering practice and research. The cases were rewritten to make them more suitable for group and class discussion. The NSPE BER reviews cases with the narrower purpose of making an ethical judgment on the actions of (only) the engineers in the cases, based solely on the NSPE Code of Ethics. Each of the discussion cases has a link to the original NSPE case. Cases are grouped into five categories. Some cases appear in more than one category. Most of these are historical cases in the sense that they recount actual events in detail. Several of the cases are those of famous accidents. Three of the historical cases are presented with photographs and diagrams that greatly enhance the understanding of the situation. Two Cases of Engineering Errors That Led to Accidents in Japan Hiroshi Iino, Kanazawa Institute of Technology. The two accidents in nuclear energy development by a governmental organization which are described here were fairly well disclosed, analyzed and attracted much public interest in Japan because of the nature of the project and supply engineering students with many useful lessons.

Engineering Ethics Module Murdough Center for Engineering Professionalism Texas Tech University Lubbock, Texas The days when an engineer's only ethical commitment was loyalty to his or her employer have long passed. The expansiveness of technology is such that now, more than ever, society is holding engineering professions accountable for decisions that affect a full range of daily life activities. Engineers now are responsible for saying: "Can we do it, should we do it, if we do it, can we control it, and are we willing to be accountable for it?" There have been too many "headline type" instances of technology gone astray for it to be otherwise...Pinto automobiles that burn when hit from the rear, DC-10's that crash when cargo doors don't hold, bridges that collapse, Hyatt Regency walkways that fail, space shuttles that explode on national TV, gas leaks that kill thousands, nuclear plant accidents, computer viruses, oil tanker oil spills, and on and on. Since engineers have been accorded professional status and the privileges that go with it, since they have literally created our way of life, and since their designs require experimentation with subjectssometimes many subjects and without their knowledge or permissionit is no wonder that engineers are being held accountable for their actions. And for engineers, the implications are inescapable. Handling ethical dilemmas and making ethical decisions are very important elements of being a professional.

ENGINEERING ETHICS The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster Department of Philosophy and Department of Mechanical Engineering NSF Grant Number DIR-9012252 Instructor's Guide Introduction To The Case On January 28, 1986, seven astronauts were killed when the space shuttle they were piloting, the Challenger, exploded just over a minute into the flight. The failure of the solid rocket booster O-rings to seat properly allowed hot combustion gases to leak from the side of the booster and burn through the external fuel tank. The failure of the O-ring was attributed to several factors, including faulty design of the solid rocket boosters, insufficient low- temperature testing of the O-ring material and the joints that the O-ring sealed, and lack of proper communication between different levels of NASA management. Instructor Guidelines Questions for Class Discussion What could NASA management have done differently? What, if anything, could their subordinates have done differently? What should Roger Boisjoly have done differently (if anything)? In answering this question, keep in mind that at his age, the prospect of finding a new job if he was fired was slim. He also had a family to support. What do you (the students) see as your future engineering professional responsibilities in relation to both being loyal to management and protecting the public welfare?

Engineering Ethics Dr. Jamie Smith Department of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University SYLLABUS POSTINGS LINKS CASES ... PROJECT CASE STUDES IN ENGINEERING ETHICS Compiled and Edited by James K.A. Smith [Last modified 10 June 2000] As with many fields of professional ethics, students are exposed to ethical reasoning and decision-making through the analysis of case studies. This has been particularly true in medical ethics, but also in business ethics. Developed from a model of case law, the case method was adopted in business training and hence business ethics. In medical ethics, particularly clinical ethics, the case study approach was the logical outcome of the way in which medical training itself was established. This soon became the common approach across the spectrum of professional ethics. However, the case study approach is not without its problems. Some call into question the way in which case study analysis only produces a “quandary ethics” where moral decision-making is reduced to the algorithmic procedure of applying the right “rules” in the right situation. In these kinds of cases, every kind of moral decision is transformed into some kind of dilemma. My concern, however, relates to a problem with the kinds of cases which students are required to consider and how they are to “analyze” them. In this respect, traditional case study approaches tend to turn students into mere ethical “spectators” rather than participants. Case study approaches to ethics, Stuart Hampshire suggests, “only teach students how to be the ethical counterpart of art critics rather than the ethical counterpart of artists.”

Engineering Ethics The following site has links to many interesting sites dealing with ethics. http://www.ccsr.cse.dmu.ac.uk/resources/professionalism/codes/ The below was obtained from this site and is published by the NSPE NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers Preamble Engineering is an important and learned profession. As members of this profession, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.

55. TBP Code Of Ethics Every member of Tau Beta Pi should be familiar with the ABET code of ethicsof engineers. Code of ethics of Engineers. The Fundamental Principles. http://web.mit.edu/tbp/www/ethics.html

Honor and integrity are fundamental in Tau Beta Pi. Fully worthy character is a basic membership requirement of the Association. The character and reputation of Tau Beta Pi members must be above challenge. The slightest suggestion of anything untoward in their actions or speech seriously reflects upon themselves, Tau Beta Pi, and their profession. The honor and integrity of engineers comprise two elements. First, they must conform to all the requirements of honesty and responsibility which are expected of the best citizens, regardless of occupation. These standards have been known for ages. They are learned in churches, in good homes, and by association with refined people. They identify high-grade, respectable persons. Second, engineers must meet the requirements of the special ethics of their profession. Every procession has established a code or standard to govern the conduct of its members in matters that pertain to the profession, and which do not concern lay citizens. Many of the important national engineering honor societies have adopted their own codes. In addition, the Engineers' Council for Professional Development (whose work in this area is now being performed by the American Association of Engineering Societies) formulated a code of ethics for engineers which was consistent with the codes of the several societies. The Council's code was designed to support the special codes of the societies, and to guide engineers in branches of the profession where there are no special codes.

Essays on Science and Engineering Ethics Essays Maintained by the Ethics Center On Being the Bearer of Bad News, by Philip Koopman. In this essay, Philip Koopman discusses the perils of presenting problems to management, and offers concrete suggestions and advice on how best to proceed in such a situation. This essay was originally published as part of a series on ethics and engineering by the SSIT Ethics Committee of the IEEE. Problems and Cases: New Directions in Ethics, 1980-1996, by Caroline Whitbeck. In this essay Whitbeck surveys the recent practical turn in the study and teaching of research ethics. Beginning with the recognition that ethics is an aspect of social life (rather than a body of universally applicable abstractions), ethicists have increasingly turned to case study and related approaches in teaching and writing about ethics. Topics addressed include: assessing behavior in context; cases, casuistry, and case methods; dilemmas and decision problems; and problems experienced by agents. This essay will appear in the Fall 1996 issue of Professional Ethics Trustworthy Research, Editorial Introduction,

Software Engineering Ethics - Don Gotterbarn I think software engineering ethics is a very practical discipline and is a necessary part of the practical education of every software engineer. I base this belief on my understanding of software engineering as a profession and the nature of professional ethics. I think software engineering ethics as a professional ethics actually involves three different levels of ethics. Software professionals must follow the same minimal morality as the rest of societydon't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't hurt others, etc. This first level of ethics consists of a set of ethical values which we share with all other human beings simply by virtue of our common humanity. There is a second level of ethics shared by all professionals, who by virtue of their unique talents owe special care to people affected by the professional's work. There is a third level of ethics which comprises those obligations which derive directly from elements which are unique to the professional practice of software engineering. What does this distinction between levels mean? It means Professional Software Engineering Ethics:

ABET 2000 – Can Engineering Faculty Teach Ethics? Keith Schimmel Department of Chemical Engineering Greensboro, NC Abstract Student Abilities to Meet the Outcome ABET 2000 criterion 3(f) (ABET, 1998) states that ""Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility."" It should be noted that this criterion requires only an ""understanding of"" as contrasted with most of the criterion that require an ""ability to."" While this difference makes the criterion relatively easier to accomplish, it should still be the goal of engineering programs to seek to go beyond graduates who merely hear about engineering ethics to graduates who can function ethically. In fact, one can interpret criterion 3(h) and 4 as strongly encouraging engineering schools to provide students with structured opportunities to make ethically wise decisions. Criterion 3(h) states – ""Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and
