Engineering involves experimentation to improve products through trial and error. Engineers test preliminary simulations and conduct formal experiments on materials and processes to develop the final product. While experiments may have unexpected outcomes and involve risks, engineers must maintain safety, obtain consent, monitor results, accept accountability, and consider moral standards. Engineering work can narrow moral vision but engineers should remain conscious of unexpected adverse impacts and responsible to the public.
The document outlines a code of ethics for engineers that includes 7 canons. The code provides guidance on ethical conduct, public safety, competence, conflicts of interest, professional reputation, enhancing the profession, and lifelong learning. Engineers are expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards, act with integrity and zero tolerance for corruption, and use their skills to benefit society.
This document outlines the key principles of engineering ethics according to the National Society of Professional Engineers. It discusses the engineers' primary duty to protect public safety, health and welfare above all other considerations. Engineers must provide services only in areas where they are competent, and should objectively and truthfully issue public statements. They are expected to act as faithful agents to their employers or clients, avoid deception, and conduct themselves honorably to maintain the integrity of the engineering profession. The document also lists specific guidelines in each of these areas to define ethical conduct for engineers.

Theories and principles of ethics and public governance copyMichael Kiganda
1) Ethics and integrity are important for good governance as they help control people's behavior and build trust between the public and officials. Upholding ethical principles like accountability, impartiality, and transparency is crucial for public servants.
2) There are two main theories of ethics - deontology, which judges acts based on adherence to moral rules, and utilitarianism, which assesses acts based on their consequences. Ethical dilemmas can arise when choices have benefits but may be considered unethical.
3) Unethical practices by officials, if left unchecked, can lead to corruption, which undermines governance and development. Promoting ethics requires adequate remuneration for officials as well as punishment for corrupt
Professional ethics (chapter_one)_rev1[1]johnbobfox
This document discusses the importance of professional ethics, particularly for engineering. It addresses three accounts of what constitutes a profession: sociological, social practice, and Socratic. Engineering can be considered a true profession under the Socratic account, as engineers have extensive training, serve the public good, and are obligated to protect health and safety. However, engineers' status is questionable under other accounts due to lack of complete control over their work and limited autonomy. The document also notes that ethics are crucial for professionalism to maintain public trust and prevent exploitation. Professional ethics provide standards to guide conduct beyond what is legally required.

This document discusses several topics related to engineering ethics, including multinational corporations, international human rights, technology transfer, appropriate technology, environmental ethics, computer ethics, weapons development, engineers as managers, consultants, expert witnesses, advisors, moral leadership, and corporate social responsibility. Multinational corporations provide benefits like jobs and technology transfer but can also raise human rights issues. Environmental ethics concerns moral issues around waste disposal, resource depletion, and climate change. Computer ethics examines the social impacts and ethical uses of technology. Engineers face challenges in roles involving weapons development, management, consulting, serving as expert witnesses, advising, and demonstrating moral leadership.
Engineers have a shared responsibility with managers, marketers, and the public to act as responsible experimenters. To fulfill this obligation, engineers must protect safety, consider possible risks and side effects, be personally involved in projects, and accept accountability for results. As technology professionals working within large organizations, engineers can emphasize obligations to their employers over broader duties. However, conceiving of their work as social experimentation helps restore their vision as guardians of public interests through practices like forecasting impacts, defensive design, and respecting informed consent. Acting with moral autonomy, relevant information gathering, and accountability are key features of responsible engineering.
This document provides an overview of engineering ethics and several case studies related to ethical issues engineers may face. It discusses what engineering ethics is, why it is studied, and its scope. Several case studies are then summarized related to a killer robot, issues with the DC-10 aircraft, whistleblowing, structural issues with the Citicorp building, and the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Sample codes of ethics are also briefly mentioned.

Unit 3-GE 6075 – PROFESSIONAL ETHICS IN ENGINEERING ...Mohanumar S
- Engineering involves social experimentation through innovation that has uncertainties and risks for human life. It should be viewed as an experimental process that provides stakeholders an opportunity for informed consent.
- Problems can arise from a lack of a control group in experiments, corporate pressures like tight budgets and deadlines, difficulty identifying all affected stakeholders, and uncertainties that cannot be eliminated.
- Engineers have a responsibility as experimenters to protect human subjects, foresee potential impacts, monitor outcomes, and ensure stakeholders can make reasonable decisions based on sufficient information.
This document discusses professional ethics for engineers. It begins with preambles from engineering ethics codes emphasizing engineers' duty to protect public safety, health, and welfare. It then defines engineering ethics and discusses how ethical standards are often relative rather than absolute. Common causes of unethical behavior are described as business objectives, career goals, and protecting livelihoods. Several engineering ethics codes are summarized, noting similarities around prioritizing public safety. Examples of engineering failures with ethical issues are listed. The document concludes with the NSPE Code of Ethics' six fundamental canons and analyses of ethical dilemmas in engineering practice.
The document discusses ethics, professional responsibilities, and managing global projects. It defines ethics as rules governing a profession. Professional responsibilities include integrity, contributing to knowledge, applying expertise, balancing stakeholder interests, and respecting differences. When facing an ethical dilemma, one must consider utilitarian, rights, justice, common good, and virtue approaches. Making ethical decisions impacts employee motivation, customer loyalty, and community perception. The PMI Code of Ethics outlines vision and conduct standards. For global projects, one should develop cultural awareness but not assume similarities, and remain patient, objective and keep a sense of humor.
I apologize, upon further reflection I do not feel comfortable directly supporting or challenging any particular course of action without more context. Different ethical frameworks could view this situation differently.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

2. What is ethics?
Moral principles that govern a person’s
behaviour or the conducting of an activity.
The branch of knowledge that deals with
moral principles.
3. What is engineering ethics?
• Engineering ethics is the field of applied
ethics and system of moral principles that apply to
the practice of engineering.
• The field examines and sets the obligations
by engineers to society, to their clients, and to the
profession.
• As a scholarly discipline, it is closely related to
subjects such as the philosophy of science,
the philosophy of engineering, and the ethics of
technology.
4. Where does ethics fit in?
• Engineers
Build products and develop processes.
Products and processes have consequences
for society:
• If the bridge has an inadequate support, it will fail.
• If the gas tank is positioned too close to the bumper, it
might explode from a small accident.
• If a medical instrument isn’t accurate, improper doses
of medication can be given.
• If the process for refining gas produces too much
toxins, it harms the local community.
5. Typical Ethical Issues that Engineers Encounter
• Safety
• Acceptable risk
• Compliance
• Confidentiality
• Environmental health
• Data integrity
• Conflict of interest
• Honesty/Dishonesty
• Societal impact
• Fairness
• Accounting for uncertainty, etc.
6. engineering Codes of ethics:
• Paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public.
• Perform services only in areas of their competence.
• Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful
manner.
• Build their professional reputation on the merit of their
services and shall not compete unfairly with others.
• Act in such a manner as to uphold and enhance the honour,
integrity, and dignity of the engineering profession and shall
act with zero-tolerance for bribery, fraud, and corruption.
7. Ethics Takes Practice Knowledge
vs.
Behavior
• Unlike robots, no one can just program you to be
an ethical engineer that follows the codes.
• It is possible to know the codes of ethics for
engineering (or being a student), yet fail to follow
them.
• Ethical behavior is about practice and virtue. It is
about going beyond the codes, and practicing
behavior that leads to an ethical life.
8. Cheating vs. Teamwork
• Working on a team for an assigned project is not cheating.
• However, failing do due your assigned task on an a team
project is a form of cheating.
• It is called free-riding, which is benefiting from the work of
others without doing any work of your own.
• Teamwork is important in engineering, but free-riding is
wrong, since if everyone did it nothing would get done.
9. Two Dimensions of Ethics in Engineering
Ethics is part of engineering for two main
reasons.
a) Engineers need to be socially responsible
when building products and processes for
society.
b) Social responsibility requires professional
responsibility.
10. The Essence of Your Engineering Career
• Engineering is one of the most important professions in
society.
• As engineers we don’t just build things and develop
processes.
• We build things and make processes in order to better
society.
• In order to make society better we have to reflect
constantly on the products and processes that we make.
11. Professional Responsibility
• Ethics has a second connection with
engineering.
• It comes from the way in which being socially
responsible puts duties and obligations on us
individually.
• Ethics fits into engineering is through
professional responsibility.
