onlineethics.org The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Cases on Engineering Practice Ethics Numerical and Design Problems with Ethical Content Discussion Cases based on cases considered by the Board of Ethical Review (BER) of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) These brief cases present situations that raise ethical questions common in engineering practice and research. The cases were rewritten to make them more suitable for group and class discussion. The NSPE BER reviews cases with the narrower purpose of making an ethical judgment on the actions of (only) the engineers in the cases, based solely on the NSPE Code of Ethics. Each of the discussion cases has a link to the original NSPE case. Cases are grouped into five categories. Some cases appear in more than one category. Most of these are historical cases in the sense that they recount actual events in detail. Several of the cases are those of famous accidents. Three of the historical cases are presented with photographs and diagrams that greatly enhance the understanding of the situation. Two Cases of Engineering Errors That Led to Accidents in Japan Hiroshi Iino, Kanazawa Institute of Technology. The two accidents in nuclear energy development by a governmental organization which are described here were fairly well disclosed, analyzed and attracted much public interest in Japan because of the nature of the project and supply engineering students with many useful lessons.

25. TEACHING ENGINEERING ETHICS A CASE STUDY APPROACH I was invited to visit their class on ethics in engineering, we made joint presentations For example, basic engineering ethics textbooks might be used. http://ethics.tamu.edu/pritchar/an-intro.htm

TEACHING ENGINEERING ETHICS A CASE STUDY APPROACH Michael S. Pritchard Editor CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF ETHICS IN SOCIETY WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY National Science Foundation Grant No. DIR-8820837 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A project such as this cannot be the work of just one person. Although, as principal investigator, I accept full responsibility for the flaws in the project, credit for whatever merits it has must be shared with many others. First and foremost, I thank the more than 50 practicing engineers for their time and thoughtfulness in providing us with illustrations that gave us ideas for our case studies. The interviews ranged from one hour to more than five hours with an engineer who met with us on two occasions. One company provided us with access to its employees for an entire working day. Not only did these engineers provide us with a wealth of ideas, their enthusiasm for our project was a continual source of support. Special thanks go to my co-principal investigator, James Jaksa (Communication), who shared interviewing responsibilities for the project (even sacrificing a week-long Spring Break to talk with engineers). He also wrote preliminary drafts of many of the cases. My Philosophy colleagues John Dilworth and Joseph Ellin served as consultants on the project. John Dilworth designed the software shell for the case studies and provided commentary on twenty cases. He also tried out many of the cases in his business ethics classes. Joseph Ellin wrote commentaries on more than twenty-five of the cases. In addition, I had two graduate assistants during the three years of the project. David Zacker assisted during the first two years of the project. He helped John Dilworth with the software design, created program files for cases, interviewed engineers, and wrote earlier versions of cases. Charles Marsh assisted in the third year, refining the software versions of cases and helping prepare the final set of materials available for classroom use.

ENGINEERING ETHICS The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster Department of Philosophy and Department of Mechanical Engineering NSF Grant Number DIR-9012252 Instructor's Guide Introduction To The Case On January 28, 1986, seven astronauts were killed when the space shuttle they were piloting, the Challenger, exploded just over a minute into the flight. The failure of the solid rocket booster O-rings to seat properly allowed hot combustion gases to leak from the side of the booster and burn through the external fuel tank. The failure of the O-ring was attributed to several factors, including faulty design of the solid rocket boosters, insufficient low- temperature testing of the O-ring material and the joints that the O-ring sealed, and lack of proper communication between different levels of NASA management. Instructor Guidelines Questions for Class Discussion What could NASA management have done differently? What, if anything, could their subordinates have done differently? What should Roger Boisjoly have done differently (if anything)? In answering this question, keep in mind that at his age, the prospect of finding a new job if he was fired was slim. He also had a family to support. What do you (the students) see as your future engineering professional responsibilities in relation to both being loyal to management and protecting the public welfare?

27. PHIL 330 Case Studies In Engineering Ethics PHIL 330 Engineering ethics. Dr. Jamie Smith, Department of Philosophy, CASE STUDES IN ENGINEERING ethics Compiled and Edited by James KA Smith* http://myweb.lmu.edu/jkasmith/phil330/cases.htm

Engineering Ethics Dr. Jamie Smith Department of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University SYLLABUS POSTINGS LINKS CASES ... PROJECT CASE STUDES IN ENGINEERING ETHICS Compiled and Edited by James K.A. Smith [Last modified 10 June 2000] As with many fields of professional ethics, students are exposed to ethical reasoning and decision-making through the analysis of case studies. This has been particularly true in medical ethics, but also in business ethics. Developed from a model of case law, the case method was adopted in business training and hence business ethics. In medical ethics, particularly clinical ethics, the case study approach was the logical outcome of the way in which medical training itself was established. This soon became the common approach across the spectrum of professional ethics. However, the case study approach is not without its problems. Some call into question the way in which case study analysis only produces a “quandary ethics” where moral decision-making is reduced to the algorithmic procedure of applying the right “rules” in the right situation. In these kinds of cases, every kind of moral decision is transformed into some kind of dilemma. My concern, however, relates to a problem with the kinds of cases which students are required to consider and how they are to “analyze” them. In this respect, traditional case study approaches tend to turn students into mere ethical “spectators” rather than participants. Case study approaches to ethics, Stuart Hampshire suggests, “only teach students how to be the ethical counterpart of art critics rather than the ethical counterpart of artists.”

Engineering Ethics Dr. Jamie Smith Department of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University SYLLABUS POSTINGS LINKS CASES ... PROJECT GROUP CASE STUDY PROJECT Developed by James K.A. Smith The capstone assignment in this course on Engineering Ethics will be a group presentation based on a selected case study in engineering ethics. Rather than choosing historical cases and have students engaged in mere ethical "assessment," we will use "open-ended" cases which require students to exercise actual ethical judgment. In 1949, Stuart Hampshire observed that many courses in ethics using case studies only teach students to be the ethical counterpart of art critics rather than the ethical counterpart of artists. Our goal is not to simply be ethical spectators, but ethical actors . These cases are meant to be a kind of "practice" for work-environment decisions engineers will face. As such, the cases do not focus on catastrophic disasters, but rather the more mundane decisions that face engineers in everyday practice. Working in groups also lends a 'real-world' flavor to the project, since most engineering decisions are made as part of a team. REQUIREMENTS 1. Each group will consist of three or four students who will be responsible for planning and leading a 20-25 minute class presentation on a case in engineering ethics, and managing discussion afterwards. Students will form their own groups and submit a group list to the instructor by the date specified below (see

Short Version PREAMBLE The short version of the code summarizes aspirations at a high level of abstraction. The clauses that are included in the full version give examples and details of how these aspirations change the way we act as software engineering professionals. Without the aspirations, the details can become legalistic and tedious; without the details, the aspirations can become high sounding but empty; together, the aspirations and the details form a cohesive code. Software engineers shall commit themselves to making the analysis, specification, design, development, testing and maintenance of software a beneficial and respected profession. In accordance with their commitment to the health, safety and welfare of the public, software engineers shall adhere to the following Eight Principles: PUBLIC - Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

References and Resources Definitions Return to Contents The National Society of Professional Engineers describes Engineering Ethics as "...the study of the moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and also the study of the moral conduct, character, ideals and relationship of peoples and organizations involved in technological development." The application of engineering ethics provides a consensus on the morality of engineering decisions and defines guidelines for moral conduct by all engineering professionals. Such guidelines are partially based on ethical codes developed by engineering societies, most notably the National Society of Professional Engineers, so as to maintain the aura of professionalism throughout the engineering discipline. Codes of ethics also may encourage engineers to behave in a manner that benefits both the profession and society. Above all else, engineering professionals are in service to society, and so it is implicit in both the ethical codes and engineering ethics, that the public good should be placed above the personal interest of engineers.
