ENGINEERING ETHICS:
What? Why? How?
And When?
is engineering ethics?
Engineering Ethics is the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations engaged in engineering.
Is the study of the decisions, policies, and values that are morally desirable in engineering practice and research.
WHY STUDY ENGINEERING ETHICS
To understand the standards governing what is acceptable behavior in the practice of engineering.
HOW SHOULD BE TAUGTH
The best way to teach engineering ethics is by using cases…
example
WHEN SHOULD IT BE EMPHASIZED IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Students should be introduced to ethics in as many times and places inside and outside the curriculum as possible.
Guest lecturesPresentations to student chapters of professional societiesAnd many other possibilities present themselves.

Micro & Macro Issues
Engineering Ethics are Social Experiments
that generate both new responsibilities for creating benefits preventing harm and pointing out dangers
Moral Values pervade all aspect of technological development, and hence ethics and excellence in engineering go together
Micro & Macro IssuesMicro Issues concern the decisions made by individuals and companiesMacro Issues concern more about global issues
Both Micro & Macro Issues are important in Engineering ethics and often they are come together
Technological developmentwarrants cautious optimism-
optimism with cautions
Promoting responsible conduct promulgating and obeying the right laws and preventing wrong doing.
Ethical Dilemmasproblems that may occur in
engineering, as elsewhere, because moral values are myriad and can conflict
The Engineers Responsibility for Safety
safety consideration must be included in design from the start
-It is an engineer’s duty to protect the safety and well being of the public

some and astonish the rest…”– Mark Twain
“Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws…”
