Professional Ethics in Engineering Engineering EthicsResponsible engineers have long recognized the necessity for a statement of principles of professional practice that would serve as a guide in personal conduct. In 1906, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers appointed a committee to draw up a code of ethics. Similar groups representing other engineering societies have worked over the years to develop standards to meet the needs of their members. In 1963, the Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) adopted a detailed code of ethics that spelled out in considerable detail the obligations of engineers to the public and to each other. In 1977 a shorter code was approved by the board of directors of ECPD, and it has since been adopted by most of the engineering societies. ECPD, now ABET, also adopted and has modified a set of guidelines for use with the Fundamental Code of Ethics. Obligations of Engineers Of particular interest to a beginning engineer is the obligation of experienced engineers to make available their knowledge to others. Only a minute part of your ultimate understanding will come as a result of your own original work; by far the greatest portion will be received from others in school, through engineering societies, and from other engineers. In turn, you will be obligated to make your contribution to the constantly expanding store of knowledge. Engineers also have an obligation to remain up-to-date by participating in continuing professional development. Engineers have met their professional obligations in varying degrees, with regard to professional society membership, engineering registration, and participation in continuing education.

Although engineers have usually been respected for their successes in addressing the health and safety needs of the society they serve, they have not always asked the critical questions related to the long-term impact and sustainabilty of proposed actions. Today, the education of engineers must include the cement of social awareness and be instilled with an abiding sensitivity to nature's gifts together with social responsibility to all constituencies served. In this new culture, the engineer accepts an expended view of serving the client. Just as those who pay for engineering services must be served professionally, all others who are affecteddirectly and indirectlyshould be given the same consideration, ethical commitment and professional responsbility. In our economic analyses, we must deeply believe in values as more important than short-term profits. Our legal institutions must lead in resolving conflict in a "people for Earth" approach instead of "person against person." Governments at all levels must think of the commonality and natural interconnection among our homes, and not our differnces in cultures and political systems. The reasearch and development community must focus on recycling and regeneration, and every engineering action in meeting future needs must look to the application of the research. The old ways must be improved and the new ways must be better. Yet tomorrow's world poses a new array of challenges for us, centered on our significant role in building a sustainable future for the generation who follow us.

In addition to technical expertise and professionalism, engineers are expected to maintain high ethical standards in their work. Many engineering professional societies have written their own code of ethics for their members. Moreover, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), that sets the standards for engineering programs in the US, specified in its Engineering Criteria 2000, that engineering graduates should have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. Learning Objective By the end of the course, students should be able to identify and resolve a variety of ethical problems that arise in the process of solving engineering problems. Case Studies The following is a set of 5 short cases for introductory class discussion: Chemical Engineer working for the EPA , responsible for investigating motor vehicle engine pollution control standards. Engineer working for a high-tech company that makes extensive use of a trichloroethylene (TCE), an industrial solvent that causes cancer and affects the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. Chemical Engineer working for a small company , responsible for taking periodic samples of the effluent in a river.

The Royal Academy of Engineering set up a working group on professional ethics during 2003 on the view that it is timely to debate this within our profession and with others. Previous work by the Academy produced guidance on the paramount duty of engineers to protect the public in the case of imminent disaster. Membership RAE guidance on Warning of Preventable Disasters The spring issue of Ingenia included an article by John Uff, FREng on the role of the engineering institutions in professional ethics. www.raeng.org.uk/news/publications/ingenia/issue15 Issue 14 Issue 13 Lectures: Engineering Ethics: Do engineers owe duties to the public?

Link to past events and to programme of future events Professional standards in the UK are maintained by individual engineering institutions. They confer chartered status to engineers, based on their training and experience. The Engineering Council (EC) sets overall standards of competence and professional behaviour. EC Standards Chartered engineers must agree to abide by a code of professional conduct. The standards for degree courses include a requirement for graduates to acquire “an awareness of  the broader obligations of engineers to society”.

Steering Committee page Steering Committee history Survey Report Draft Code of Ethics Draft Accreditation Criteria ... Computer Society home page Joint IEEE Computer Society and ACM Steering Committee for the Establishment of Software Engineering as a Profession The IEEE Computer Society and the ACM have established a Joint Steering Committee for the Establishment of Software Engineering as a Profession. The initial recommendations of the Steering Committee were to define ethical standards, to define the required body of knowledge and recommended practices in Software Engineering, and to define appropriate curricula to acquire the body of knowledge. The steering committee decided to accomplish these tasks through the establishment of a series of task forces and we are now presenting the initial reports on these efforts. The purpose of the task force on Software Engineering Ethics and Professional Practices is to document the ethical and professional responsibilities and obligations of software engineers. The task force developed a code for a sub-specialization within the constituencies of both of the professional societies. In an attempt to reflect the international character of both organizations and the profession itself, the composition of the task force is multinational in both citizenship and in membership in professional computing organizations. We are publishing the proposed draft Code of Ethics for Software Engineers (version 4.0) to solicit comments from practitioners and other interested parties.

Engineering Ethics John C. Huang , Ph.D., PE Engineering profession is considered to be of vital importance to the safety, health and welfare of the public. In order to serve the public effectively and ensure the well-being of the society, engineers must not only possess and maintain a high level of technical expertise and competence, but also perform under the standard of professional conduct with adherence to the highest ethical principles. The ethical principles governing the engineering profession are embodied in codes of ethics. Such codes have been adopted by state boards of registration, professional engineering societies and even by some private industries. In this lesson, you will be asked to study the Code of Ethics for Engineers ethics case analyses by NSPE Board of Ethics Review provide examples of how the NSPE Code of Ethics was used in real case situations. Reviewing those case studies and the opinions rendered by the BER can enhance the understanding of the merits of the code.

Codes of Engineering Ethics Engineering codes of ethics have proliferated over the past three decades. The heightened awareness of engineers to the impact of their projects on society arises from many sources: the environmental movement; public protests associated with the Interstate highway system and nuclear energy; some highly visible, heavily debated, engineering disasters such as Chernobyl and the Challenger; unintended consequences that arise from otherwise successful engineering triumphs and, the ever-increasing cost of engineering projects. A number of engineering societies have recently written or revised codes of ethics over the past few years. A few examples are given below. ABET -The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. IEEE -The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. NSPE -The National Society for Professional Engineers. ACM The Association for Computing Machinery (not really an engineering site, but nevertheless interesting) There are a large number of sites on the web that address issues of morality and ethics as applied to the professions-we are, of course, especially interested in sites that focus on engineering .

78. Learning From Failure: Engineering Disasters 3%, Engineering ethics Often, a deficiency in engineering ethics isfound to be one of the root causes of an engineering failure. http://www.matscieng.sunysb.edu/disaster/

Engineering Disasters and Learning from Failure The role of the engineer is to respond to a need by building or creating something along a certain set of guidelines (or specifications) which performs a given function. Just as importantly, that device, plan or creation should perform its function without fail. Everything, however, must eventually fail (in some way) to perform its given function with a sought after level of performance. Hence, the engineer must struggle to design in such a way as to avoid failure, and, more importantly, catastrophic failure which could result in loss of property, damage to the environment of the user of that technology, and possibly injury or loss of life. Through analysis and study of engineering disasters, modern engineering designers can learn what not to do and how to create designs with less of a chance of failure. What Makes a Failure Into an "Engineering Disaster"? Much of the reason why we consider an engineering failure to be an engineering "disaster" has to do with public perception of risk. For example, in 1992 roughly the same number of fatalities occurred (in the United States) in transportation accidents involving airplanes (775), trains (755), and bicycles (722). Yet the public perception of the risk associated with air travel is often much higher than that for trains and certainly for bicycles. This stems from two reasons: (1) the large loss of life (and associated wide spread news reporting) resulting from a single air crash, and (2) the air passenger's lack of control over their environment in the case of air or, to a lesser degree, rail accidents. Both of these reasons results in increased fear, and hence a higher degree of perceived risk.

Introduction This file contains the actor and object types used in transcribing the engineering ethics scenarios. To make it easier to search this file, the actors/objects are categorized by general type. The categories are formatted like this ; the individual actors/objects are formatted like this . It is the individual actors/objects (i.e., those in this type style ) that are to be used in the transcriptions. Many of the actor and object types are followed by numbers in parentheses (e.g., " "). These numbers are cross-references example transcriptions that use that particular actor/object. For instance, the number " " following " Engineer " means that the transcription of Case 58-1 uses that actor/object. Use the cross-references as a way to examine specific usage of actors and objects. For cases in which the actor/object may have ambiguous usage, a brief note following the actor/object explains usage. Actors Individual Engineering Roles Engineer (** Note: Use this general type for all consulting, registered (i.e., professional), or government engineers. If it is important to indicate that the engineer is "registered" or "professional", use a fact primitive to indicate, e.g., "is a registered engineer") 60-9-A 60-9-B 60-9-C Principal Engineer (** Note: Use this actor type for engineers who are specified as "principals" of their firm.)
