Engineering has made an enormous contribution to providing the
material well-being that promotes human flourishing. It can also be
the cause of immense human suffering. The ethics of engineering is
relatively unexplored compared to other professions such as
medicine and business, but interest is undergoing a revival.
Engineering Ethics: Outline of an Aspirational Approach aims to
provide engineers with an inspiring view of the overall ethical
direction of their profession in a way that has direct practical
outcomes for their work practices. Key features of this original
text include:
- Concern with the overall ethical direction of engineering
rather than simply specific moral quandaries.
- The use of two key exemplars as a focus for the ethical issues:
military engineering and water provision in developing
countries.
- The relation of engineering ethics to medical ethics and
business ethics.
- The development of an original and imaginative ethical
analysis, providing a challenge to currently prevailing views.
- An original analysis that leads to specific suggestions for
changes in engineering education, engineering institutions,
industry practices and the public positioning of engineering, as
well as suggesting an aspirational role for engineering in
international political initiatives.
Engineering Ethics: Outline of an Aspirational Approach will
provoke debate among engineers, philosophers and the educated
public.
