video titled “Doing the Right Thing: Social Implications of Technology” covered topics on some ethical issues concerning engineering, the “Codes of Ethics”, and how to be a successful engineer. In the past, the role of engineer was to design, build and innovate. Engineers function as a technical experts who help the world advances. Nowadays, engineers are facing more problems regarding ethical issues. As technology grows more complex, human interactions become more problematic. There is a lot more
Engineering and ethics are two things that most may, at first thought, believe have nothing to do with one another, but in order to be a successful engineer, one must fully understand the ethical responsibilities that they have. Engineering ethics is the moral principles that an engineer must uphold throughout their entire career. Engineers have an obligation to themselves and society to understand these ethical responsibilities and maintain their own ethical values and responsibilities. Introduction
Failure is Always and Option Shenshuai Chen ENGR: 2110: Engineering Fundamentals 1: Statics Introduction Engineers ought to maintain commendable design and implementation standards in the development of any project. In fact, doing the contrary jeopardizes the welfare of the people utilizing the materials created. As such, the knowledge on static concepts needs to be prioritized in the development and implementation of engineering projects to minimize the possibilities of failure due to poor planning
Structural Engineering and Ethical Decision Making INTRODUCTION Currently in the state of California, designers employed in the building industry follow the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC 97). The UBC 97 is intended to be a minimum requirement for both engineers and architects to follow in the design of any structural building or bridge. There are exceptions to the use of the UBC; local jurisdictions have the right to adopt other codes for there use. For instances some counties or cities
When talking about engineering, people would probably have pictures in their mind of engineers using machines producing parts, drawing and sketching designs, or even doing some mathematical calculations. A more general answer to what engineers actually do would be that they solve social problems through the use of machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. They are all absolutely correct. But in reality, both the job and the role of an engineer are more complicated. They do not only have

Upon completion of my mechanical engineering degree, I will commission into the United States Air Force as a Second Lieutenant, and enter the “profession of arms” tasked with the defense of our country. As a mechanical engineering student, with the scientific and technological understanding similar to those mentioned above, I have thought about the engineering of weapons that make our military incredibly well equipped and advantaged in conflict. Learning in this course however, we have been taught
relationship, these two qualities become important in areas of operation, such as business, where decisions are often made by one individual for the sake of the greater whole. This approach, also known as utilitarianism, can often lead to questionable ethical and moral
Name Institution Course Instructor Date Civil Engineering Career My understanding of Civil Engineering and how it has evolved throughout the semester Civil engineering is an interdisciplinary field that deals in the design, construction and maintenance of the natural and physically built environment (Wong p.213). It entails the constructions works for roads, canals, dams, bridges, buildings and other forms of man-made infrastructure. Civil works are executed to improve the living standards of
Every engineer should follow these cannons (everybody in any profession should also) but, realistically, these rules are sometimes pushed aside. When the decision is made to overlook ethics, terrible things can sometimes happen. Engineering disasters occur every day, and I believe that most of the time it is material impurities/failure. However, an engineer isn’t perfect, and unethical behavior has been the cause of countless disasters such as the Challenger explosion, the Kansas City
