Is Ethics an Alien word to the engineering profession? “The decisions and actions of engineers have a profound impact on the world we live in‚ and society at large” [The Royal Academy of Engineering] and are generally responsible for the way life is on earth due to their key part in discovering innovative technologies throughout the past. However in recent years the engineering profession has come under scrutiny with regards to its ethical stance. Ethics is certainly not an alien word in the United

Samuel Haynes English 1101 – Mechanical Engineering Professor Raymond October 15‚ 2012 ME At the start of the Industrial Revolution‚ in the 18th century the steam engine was first produced. From this production it gave an enormous start to all machinery of any type and every type. As a result‚ a new major classification of engineering was formed due to the intuition of machines and tools being developed. Soon after this‚ the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was founded in Birmingham‚ England

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: THE ROLE OF ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY S.P. Nichols and W.F. Weldon Center for Electromechanics‚ The University of Texas at Austin‚ USA Keywords: professional responsibility‚ engineering ethics‚ engineering responsibility. Abstract We argue that the practice of engineering does not exist outside the domain of societal interests. That is‚ the practice of engineering has an inherent (and unavoidable) impact on society. Engineering is based upon that relationship with society

When it comes to engineering‚ building‚ and designing something that will be used by humans‚ safety is the most important step in the entire process. It should be taken very seriously by all who are involved in a project‚ but the engineers should be the ones who double‚ triple or even quadruple check safety issues. Mainly the engineers because it is in their code and law of ethics and safety is the first Canon on the list‚ “Hold paramount the safety‚ health‚ and welfare of the public.” (NSPE‚ 2012)
