This compact reference succinctly explains the engineering
profession's codes of ethics using case studies drawn from
decisions of the National Society of Professional Engineers' (NSPE)
Board of Ethical Review, examining ethical challenges in
engineering, construction, and project management. It includes
study questions to supplement general engineering survey courses
and a list of references to aid practicing engineers in exploring
topics in depth. Concentrating primarily on situations engineers
encounter on a daily basis and offering pragmatic answers to
ethical questions, What Every Engineer Should Know About Ethics
discusses recent headline-making disasters such as the Challenger
explosion, the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, and the Hyatt-Regency
Hotel collapse; considers the merits and drawbacks of professional
codes of ethics; covers the application of the "committee approach"
to specific cases; compares and contrasts ethical codes and
personal values with alternative approaches to morality; defines
professional licensing and registration and enumerates their
prerequisites; outlines legal standards for liability; emphasizes
the importance of communication, coordination, and documentation;
includes a discussion of "whistleblowing;" defines the engineer's
primary ethical responsibility; and more.
