    Extractions: What exactly is "ethics?" In the literal context, ethics can be defined as "a body of moral principles." Professional ethics and conduct constitutes a set of rules and behaviors which facilitates effective interaction on professional matters. In this respect, ethical rules are very much like laws or standards that govern social and professional interactions. Ethical behavior may broadly be equated with the respect for one's colleagues, and for their rights. Engineering is similar to professions such as law and medicine in that it has specialized knowledge, the privilege of self-regulation, and a responsibility to the public. We use our training and abilities to benefit society, and society expects that we will oversee and regulate the performance of our fellow engineers. Thus, our education and our professional practice must consider the ethical dimensions of engineering. Professional ethics are not just a personal preference established and governed by the individual engineer. Because of the importance of professional behavior, most companies and professional societies have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit. Overall, the codes tend to be very similar. The ASME codes

    Extractions: and Engineers Differ? Abstract : This paper provides a sketch of my general way of understanding professions and then applies that sketch to a specific question, how to distinguish between two very similar professions, chemistry and engineering. I argue that the professional ethics of chemists do differ from the professional ethics of engineers and that the differences are important. The argument requires definition of both ‘ethics’ and ‘profession’ – as well delving into the details of chemistry and engineering. Keywords profession, ethics, morality, code of conduct, chemists, engineers. My subject is not the ethics of chemistry and engineering, but the ethics of chemists and engineers, not only those chemists and engineers at the forefront of science but the much larger number whose work for government, industry, or non-profits is, though useful – indeed, crucial to our health, prosperity, and comfort – unlikely to lead to publication. My subject is living practices, not timeless ideas. What I shall argue here is that the professional ethics of chemists differs from that of engineers. This may come as a surprise to many chemists, especially those who work with engineers (as many do). The surprise is understandable for two reasons:

    http://home.cfl.rr.com/welden/engineers_rights.html
    
    Extractions: Introduction Over time, peoples of the world have found it necessary to fight for and proclaim that they possessed certain rights. The earliest recorded account of such a declaration was the Magna Carta. Before penning the Declaration of Independencethe first of the American Charters of Freedomin 1776, the Founding Fathers searched for a historical precedent for asserting their rightful liberties from King George III and the English Parliament. They found it in a gathering that took place 561 years earlier on the plains of Runnymede, not far from where Windsor Castle stands today. There, on June 15, 1215, an assembly of barons confronted a despotic and cash-strapped King John and demanded that traditional rights be recognized, written down, confirmed with the royal seal, and sent to each of the counties to be read to all freemen. The result was Magna Cartaa momentous achievement for the English barons and, nearly six centuries later, an inspiration for angry American colonists. Then in 1689 in England, the Declaratioin of Rights was created, in which it proclaimed "that Englishmen possessed certain inviolable civil and political rights, among other things". It registered in statutory form the outcome of the long 17th-century struggle between the Stuart kings and the English Parliament. Its principles were accepted by William III and Mary II in the Declaration of Rights as a condition for ascending the throne after the revolution in which James II was dethroned (1688).

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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

    Extractions: ENGINEERING ETHICS CASE STUDIES The Aberdeen Three: In 1989, three engineers working on developing chemical weapons at a U.S. Army facility, the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, were indicted for a criminal felony. They were tried and convicted for illegally handling, storing and disposing of hazardous wasted in violation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act form 1983-1986. This case shows the importance of the engineering profession's social and environmental responsibilities, in both legal and moral terms. In addition, it serves as an important case study in the escalating public concern over environmental and toxic waste, and the ways in which government is called upon to regulate engineering business. Aberdeen Three is particularly useful for students of environmental engineering; however, it also is a useful case for showing engineering students their responsibility to the public at large. Case Study Accepting Gifts and Amenities: Most engineers probably believe that accepting small favors (such as inexpensive pens) from vendors is permissible. By contrast, most engineers probably believe that accepting large gifts or amenities is wrong. Drawing the line between permissible and impermissible instances of accepting gifts and amenities is not always easy, however. This case invites students to think about the issues involved in such decisions. It is particularly suitable for senior-level engineering courses.

While both disciplines hold that individuals can and ought to arrive at right and proper decisions to act in the face of conflict, there are several general but significant differences. Morality usually implies a set of internally held values, quite often (but not necessarily) deontological, or deity-based. Many moral belief systems c enter on what are held to be intrinsic or universal values-Truth, Honesty, the "golden rule" or other measure of goodness. Ethics (in our sense of "professional ethics") on the other hand, is usually connected to a shared understanding of proper conduct guidelines among a group of people associated by means of their profession. Morals are an internal barometer by which an individual may guide their personal beliefs and actions. Ethics provides an overarching structure by which professionals can act given a set of external conditions. By this overarching ethical structure, usually called a Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics, professionals share a commonly held set of guidelines as to how their fellow professionals can reasonably be expected to act in the same or similar conditions.

    Extractions: Columbus, Ohio 1. Introduction How does a Christian scholar do research and education in engineering ethics? As a Christian professor of electrical engineering, I did not have to concern myself with this question as long as I taught purely technical engineering classes. But in the last few years I have had opportunities to look at the profession of engineering from the outside, as it were, and to begin to address issues of professionalism and ethics. Specifically, in the summer of 1998 I performed a survey of engineering ethics instruction in the United States. One of my findings was that there are significant differences between religious and secular institutions of higher education with regard to their ethics–related curriculum content. In order to present this data in an engineering education journal, however, I was forced to minimize this aspect of my findings. *On leave 1999–2000 at Dept. of History, Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX 78712
