Among the many lessons to be learned by watching the Enron management team's all-star efforts to serve as a bad example, there's one basic point: if someone had stood up and said that the schemes were unethical, or had gone to authorities when they couldn't convince executives to scuttle those unethical activities, the company might not have plummeted so dramatically from its lofty number five spot on the Fortune 500 list. Though the Enron crash wasn't technically oriented, engineering professors and others involved with ethics issues are using it as an example of the enormous repercussions associated with unethical business practices.

IEEE-USA Legislative Action Center Becoming a Professional — Education is Only the Beginning by Janet Rochester Engineers spend a minimum of four years preparing to enter the profession. These years focus almost entirely on technical information. Universities try to include professional skills courses along the way, such as writing, public speaking, and team skills. Students enrolled in cooperative programs or who have work experience have additional opportunities to learn and practice these skills. Together, the technical and non-technical skills are the tools engineers need to be competent in their chosen work. But these skills alone do not make engineers professionals Engineers become professionals by demonstrating professional behavior according to the criteria that define a profession. While there are no universal, binding criteria, most of the essential attributes of a profession can be summarized in a fairly short list (Greenwood):

    Extractions: Lubbock, Texas Engineer A is the principal in a small-sized consulting engineering firm. Approximately 50% of the work performed by Engineer A's firm is performed for the county in which the firm is located. The value of the work for the firm is estimated to be approximately $150,000 per year. Engineer A is requested to make a $5,000 political contribution, the maximum amount allowed by law, to help pay the cost of the media campaign of the county chairman. After subsequent thought, Engineer A makes a $2,000 contribution to the campaign of the chairman, a person Engineer A has known for many years through mutual public service activities as well as their activities on behalf of the same political party. The county board chairman serves in a part-time capacity and receives $9,000 per year for his services. Other members of the board receive $8,000 per year for their services. As required under the laws of his state, Engineer A reports the campaign contributions to the state board of elections, and correctly certifies that the contributions do not exceed the limits set by the law of the state. These contributions and the contributions of other firms in the county are reported by members of the local media who appear to suggest that Engineer A and other firms have contributed to the campaign in anticipation of receiving work from the county. Engineer A continues to perform work for the county after making political contributions.

The Ethical Engineer (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1993), 284 pp., softcover, $19.95. Reviewer: Marina Paola Banchetti-Robino, Florida Atlantic University Some of the best features of this book are its appendices. Appendix I discusses two sample suggestions for professional engineers (the formation of an environmental and community issues advisory board and the employment of an ethical ombudsperson.) Appendix II is an excellent chapter-by-chapter summary of the key points of the book. There is also a list of cases with page numbers at the end of the book for quick reference. There is an index but no bibliography. However, the notes at the end of the book (organized by chapter) provide students and faculty alike with good references to other texts. Schlossberger’s book also has strengths and weakness with respect to its suitability for faculty members. The book does provide a good take-off point for class discussion. The cases chosen for this discussion and analysis are the standard cases of engineering ethics (BART, Dalkon Shield, the DC-10 case, the Challenger disaster, etc.). Some cases are "resolved" in order to show the students how one goes about using the "ethical tool kit." Other cases remain "unresolved" allowing the students and their teacher to engage in discussion and to work together to achieve a resolution to these cases.

    Extractions: in this year's Golden Gate Branch Scholarship Program. ] Is engineering ethics important? It seems almost foolish to ask this question given the attention engineers have placed on the subject over the years. Engineers are called to ethical behavior in formal ceremonies such as "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer," in the Engineers Creed, in school, in business, and in numerous publications and conferences every year. The question of importance is then almost moot - of course engineering ethics are important! But why? While engineers can vastly improve the lives of people everywhere, safety for that constituency must be their primary concern and therein lays the importance of ethics for the engineer. When an engineer misrepresents his knowledge of a design element, cuts corners to complete a project on-time or under budget, misuses design tools and equations, does not use the best information or tools for a particular problem, he has possibly placed the lives of others into greater danger. Engineers have a strong tradition of upholding the moral practice of the profession and must continue to keep that high standard.

    Extractions: On a very cold dry winter morning in West Germany a group of American servicemen were removing a solid-state-fueled missile from its packing case, using a hoist. They had some difficulty with the hoist and had to raise the missile from its cradle several times and lower it back in before they were finally successful. Shortly after the missile was finally lifted from its cradle it was moved close to a grounded metal antenna. The fuel in the missile ignited, burned through the side of the rocket motor and killed several of the servicemen. The course of events was probably as follows. When the missile was lifted from the cradle, the friction caused tribo-electric charging of both the cradle which was grounded, and the surface of the motor casing. The casing was not grounded, moreover, a very good insulator. The charge on the casing was not able to spread out because of the insulating nature of the casing and was not able to bleed off through the air because the air was so dry. (You must have noticed how much more aggravating sparks from your fingers are during cold, dry weather.)

    According to the engineering Code of ethics, an engineer's foremost responsibilitylies in protecting the safety and welfare of the public.  
    http://www.tcnj.edu/~rgraham/ethics.html
    
    Extractions: Return to Contents The National Society of Professional Engineers describes Engineering Ethics as "...the study of the moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and also the study of the moral conduct, character, ideals and relationship of peoples and organizations involved in technological development." The application of engineering ethics provides a consensus on the morality of engineering decisions and defines guidelines for moral conduct by all engineering professionals. Such guidelines are partially based on ethical codes developed by engineering societies, most notably the National Society of Professional Engineers, so as to maintain the aura of professionalism throughout the engineering discipline. Codes of ethics also may encourage engineers to behave in a manner that benefits both the profession and society. Above all else, engineering professionals are in service to society, and so it is implicit in both the ethical codes and engineering ethics, that the public good should be placed above the personal interest of engineers.
