82. Learning From Failure: Engineering Disasters Or check here our list of some codes of Engineering ethics. Failures in engineering ethics can have many legal consequences as well, as in the case of a http://www.matscieng.sunysb.edu/disaster/

Engineering Disasters and Learning from Failure The role of the engineer is to respond to a need by building or creating something along a certain set of guidelines (or specifications) which performs a given function. Just as importantly, that device, plan or creation should perform its function without fail. Everything, however, must eventually fail (in some way) to perform its given function with a sought after level of performance. Hence, the engineer must struggle to design in such a way as to avoid failure, and, more importantly, catastrophic failure which could result in loss of property, damage to the environment of the user of that technology, and possibly injury or loss of life. Through analysis and study of engineering disasters, modern engineering designers can learn what not to do and how to create designs with less of a chance of failure. What Makes a Failure Into an "Engineering Disaster"? Much of the reason why we consider an engineering failure to be an engineering "disaster" has to do with public perception of risk. For example, in 1992 roughly the same number of fatalities occurred (in the United States) in transportation accidents involving airplanes (775), trains (755), and bicycles (722). Yet the public perception of the risk associated with air travel is often much higher than that for trains and certainly for bicycles. This stems from two reasons: (1) the large loss of life (and associated wide spread news reporting) resulting from a single air crash, and (2) the air passenger's lack of control over their environment in the case of air or, to a lesser degree, rail accidents. Both of these reasons results in increased fear, and hence a higher degree of perceived risk.

85. PRISM - TECH VIEW: On The Right Track - By Mary Kathleen Flynn which requires engineering undergrads to complete a full course on ethics. one of the country s few endowed chairs in engineering ethics. http://www.prism-magazine.org/apr05/tech_view.cfm

By Mary Kathleen Flynn ETHICS IS AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT PART OF THE CURRICULUM AT MANY ENGINEERING SCHOOLS. The next generation of engineers may develop a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions of their profession, thanks to a movement to include ethics in the undergraduate curriculum at many engineering colleges. The trend is part of a larger goal of integrating liberal arts into the engineering curriculum (See " Opening a New Book Prism , February, 2004). The field of ethics is getting a boost from the wording of the new criteria for accreditation. Advocates are encouraged by a handful of universities that are making ethics courses mandatory, integrating ethics into the engineering curriculum and establishing endowed chairs in engineering ethics. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology's Engineering Criteria 2000 requires engineering programs to demonstrate that their students attain: "an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability." Students must also attain "the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context."

When Good Engineering Goes Bad by Roxane Gay Preventative Measures Worst Case Scenario The space shuttle Challenger The year 1986 was a busy one for NASA, competing with the European Space Agency. They scheduled a record number of flights that year to prove that the shuttle system was dependable, cost effective and held potential for commercialization. The Challenger mission itself has been delayed several times due to weather and minor technical difficulties. Nonetheless, NASA managers were determined to launch the shuttle amidst a climate fraught with economic and political tensions. The space shuttle Challenger exploded during launch on Jan. 28, 1986. In the ensuing months and years, a number of ethical breaches were revealed, the most significant of which were issues that involved engineers in management positions.

Vol. 12, No. 1, August 1992 Engineering Ethics in Asia Carl Mitcham, Pennsylvania State University Excluding Russia, the dominant countries of Asia are China, India, and Japan. Using a variety of sources, I have estimated populations and numbers of engineers as of 1985: ( Table These estimates are only very approximate. They nevertheless indicate that density of engineers in China and India may be about the same, but greater by a factor of ten in the US and twenty in Japan. The development of professional engineering will be influenced by such different densities, as well as by educational traditions and the ability of engineers to form free associations. Consider, then, the following notes on particular cases. China. Given the relatively low density of engineers in China and the authoritarian character of the Chinese political system, it is not surprising that no Chinese technical society yet has an explicit code of ethics. What is surprising, is that the regulations of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society imply something like such a code. Hong Kong's engineers differ from others in China. Located in a British Crown Colony, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) originally developed not just on the British model but as a branch of British professional organization. With the realization that Hong Kong would be returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, local engineers in the 1970s began to provide Hong Kong with a truly independent engineering association. That has involved some intense discussion of professional ethics, with a special conference in 1980 on "Professional Ethics in the Modern World."

This paper suggests that demonstrating students "understand ethics" need not (indeed, should not) imply that we assess whether our students "behave ethically," either before or after graduation. Suggestions are provided for an approach focused on teaching ethics rather than preaching ethics, potential counter-arguments are considered, and references to key resources in the engineering ethics literature are included.

Whereas in the US ethics-textbooks for the education of engineers have seen the light from the 1970s onwards, there have been very few research efforts in the field. This is all the more surprising if one compares engineering ethics with bioethics, which has developed into a booming field of research. It seems obvious that engineering and technology pose at least as many pressing and interesting ethical questions as medicine and biotechnology. Fortunately, recently there are more and more initiatives for advanced efforts on engineering ethics. In the Netherlands, all the three Universities of technology (Delft, Eindhoven and Twente) have developed substantial philosophy departments in the last years that do research in the philosophy of technology, with groups that are specialized in engineering ethics. In the spring of 2002, the ethics group of the Philosophy Department of Delft University of Technology organized a conference on "Research in Ethics and Engineering". Participants came from various parts of the world: Europe, the US and Asia. The conference was organized around three themes: risk, autonomy and engineering as a profession.

Brian M. O'Connell Central Connecticut State University Joseph R. Herkert North Carolina State University Over the past two decades, engineering ethics and computer ethics have emerged as identifiable fields of applied ethics. While some individuals have made contributions to both fields, for the most part they have developed in the USA along parallel, but separate paths. In previous presentations ( ) we have argued that material drawn from computer ethics should be standard fare in all engineering ethics treatments, not just those aimed specifically at computer engineers and scientists. This conclusion emerges from the ever-expanding prominence of computer technology in both engineering education and practice and the form of engineered products. As noted by William Wulf (1997) , a University of Virginia Professor and President of the National Academy of Engineering: The pervasive use of information technology in both the products and process of engineering The importance of social and ethical implications of computing with respect to engineering practice and products should also not be ignored.
