ENGINEERING AND ETHICS – WEEK #1 ASSIGNMENT ANSI VS. ASME 1 Engineering and Ethics – Week #1 Assignment ANSI vs. ASME Christopher Manhart University of Arkansas Grantham
ENGINEERING AND ETHICS – WEEK #1 ASSIGNMENT ANSI VS. ASME 2 Abstract Upon examining the code of ethics from two prominent organizations, namely the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), it became evident that these two codes sparked some curiosity. Both ANSI and ASME share a common objective of ensuring the safety of individuals through the provision of guidelines and standardized information. Nevertheless, ANSI assumes a broader role, encompassing various sectors and acting as an overarching authority for safety, whereas ASME's responsibilities are more specific and contribute to the comprehensive framework established by ANSI. The examination of their respective roles in defining suitable ethical conduct is explored in greater detail. Keywords : ANSI, ASME, Behavior, Ethics, Standards
ENGINEERING AND ETHICS – WEEK #1 ASSIGNMENT ANSI VS. ASME 3 Engineering And Ethics – Week #1 Assignment ANSI vs. ASME Two codes of ethics underwent a thorough examination, leading to the discovery of three similarities, three differences, notable phrases for each, and the distinct roles played by standards in identifying suitable ethical conduct. The safety realm encompasses numerous acronyms, which can occasionally create confusion regarding their meanings. Among these uncertainties lies the question of whether ANSI and ASME are synonymous and whether they address identical topics. At first glance, the American National Standards Institution (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) may appear similar, but upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that each organization possesses unique attributes that set them apart. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are two private, non-profit organizations that share common goals. Together, they work towards advancing technical knowledge and creating consistent voluntary standards and codes for engineering practices. By developing engineering standards, both organizations aim to ensure that engineers follow the same guidelines, resulting in quality and consistency across all mechanical devices and products. (Yadav, 2023). Recognizing the disparities is of utmost importance, despite the similarities in measurements. The primary objective of ANSI is to enhance the market standing of the United States, whereas ASME concentrates on resolving mechanical engineering difficulties and safety concerns. ANSI has recognized around 9,500 standards, whereas ASME has formulated 600 standards and codes for diverse mechanical devices. ANSI does not produce standards on its own, but it authorizes organizations like ASME to do so. It is worth noting that ASME was founded many years prior to the establishment of ANSI. (Admin, 2021).
