behaviour.

fairness etc fall under the terms of professional
ethics.

20. ENGINEERING ETHICS
Engineering ethics is defined by the codes and
standards of conduct endorsed by engineering
(professional) societies with respect to the
particular set of beliefs, attitudes and habits
displayed by the individual or group.
Another important goal of engineering ethics is the
discovery of the set of justified moral principles of
obligation, rights and ideals that ought to be
endorsed by the engineers and apply them to
concrete situations.
Engineering is the largest profession and the
decisions and actions of engineers affect all of us in
almost all areas of our lives, namely public safety,
health, and welfare.
