This volume identifies, discusses and addresses the wide array of
ethical issues that have emerged for engineers due to the rise of a
global economy. To date, there has been no systematic treatment of
the particular challenges globalization poses for engineering
ethics standards and education. This volume concentrates on
precisely this challenge. Scholars and practitioners from diverse
national and professional backgrounds discuss the ethical issues
emerging from the inherent symbiotic relationship between the
engineering profession and globalization. Through their discussions
a deeper and more complete understanding of the precise ways in
which globalization impacts the formulation and justification of
ethical standards in engineering as well as the curriculum and
pedagogy of engineering ethics education emerges. The world today
is witnessing an unprecedented demand for engineers and other
science and technology professionals with advanced degrees due to
both the off-shoring of western jobs and the rapid development of
non-Western countries. The current flow of technology and
professionals is from the West to the rest of the world.
Professional practices followed by Western (or Western-trained)
engineers are often based on presuppositions which can be in
fundamental disagreement with the viewpoints of non-Westerners. A
successful engineering solution cannot be simply technically sound,
but also must account for cultural, social and religious
constraints. For these reasons, existing Western standards cannot
simply be exported to other countries. Divided into two parts, Part
I of the volume provides an overview of particular dimensions of
globalization and the criteria that an adequate engineering ethics
framework must satisfy in a globalized world. Part II of the volume
considers pedagogical challenges and aims in engineering ethics
education that is global in character.
