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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Engineers –Shared Responsibility
• Engineers are not the sole experimenters
• – Managers
• – Marketing people
• – Public
• But, “with knowledge comes responsibility”
• •Engineers are in a unique position to:
• – Monitor projects
• – Identify risks
• – Develop facts for informed consent
• An engineering professional will take on the
• responsibility!
2
3. To fulfill their obligations as responsible
experimenters, engineers must:
• A Primary Obligation to protect the safety of human subjects,
providing a safe exit whenever possible, and respect their right of
informed consent
• use imaginative forecasting of possible side effects, and reasonable
efforts to monitor them
• have autonomous, personal involvement in all aspects of a project
• accept accountability for the results
• display technical competence and other attributes of responsible
professionals
3
4. General responsibility of engineering as
society:
• Engineers are primarily considered as technical enablers or facilitators,
rather than being the sole experimenters.
• Engineers‘ responsibility is shared with management, the public and others.
• The other unique responsibility of engineers include monitoring projects,
identifying risks, providing customers and clients the required information
to make reasonable decisions.
• While exercising engineering duties, the engineers should display the virtue
of being morally responsible person
4
5. General features of moral responsible
engineers:
• 1. Conscientiousness
• 2. Relevant information
• 3. Moral Autonomy
• 4. Accountability
5
6. Responsible Experimentalists
• 1. Conscientiousness: Protect safety knowledge,
• respect right of consent of public
• 2. Relevant Information / Comprehensive perspective: Awareness of
experimental nature of projects, forecasting, monitoring
• 3. Moral autonomy: Personally engaged,
• thoughtful, involvement in project
• 4. Accountability: Accept responsibility for results
• of a project (avoid fragmentation, diffusion, time
• pressures)
6
7. Conscientiousness:
• People act responsibly to the extent that they conscientiously commit
themselves to live according to moral values .
• Self interest
• Conscientiousness means commitment to live according to certain
values. It implies conscientiousness.
• Engineers have to be sensitive to a range of moral values and
responsibilities, which are relevant in a given situation.
7
8. • · Also engineers should have the willing to develop the skill and
apply the effort needed to reach the best balance possible among
various considerations.
• · Open eyes, open s and an open mind‘ are required to evaluate a
given situation, its implication and to determine who are involved or
affected.
• · The primary duty of morally responsible engineers is to protect
the safety of human beings and respect their rights of consent.
8
9. •Open eyes, Open ears and an Open mind are
required to recognize a given situation, its
implications and who is involved or affected.
9
10. Working Conditions
• The contemporary ( modern or present) working conditions of
engineers tend a narrow moral vision solely to the obligations that
accompany employee status.
10
11. Engineers work benefits
• 90% of engineers are salaried employees work in large
bureaucracies ( organizations or administrations ) under great
pressure to function smoothly within the organization
• Benefits :Prudent self interest and concern for one’s family make it
easy to emphasize as primary the obligations to one‘s employer
11
12. Moral aspiration (goal)
• Minimal negative duties:
• Not falsifying data
• Not violating patent rights
• Not breaching confidentiality
12
13. Engineering as Social Experimentation
• Restores vision of engineers as guardians of the public interest
professional duty it is to guard the Welfare and safety of those affected
by engineering projects .
• Engineers should not impose their own views of the social good upon
society
13
14. Relevant information:
• Conscientiousness is impossible without relevant factual information.
• Engineers have to show the commitment to obtain and properly gauge all the
information related to meeting one‘s moral obligations.
• The two general ways of losing perspective on the context of one‘s work are
given below.
• 1. To grasp the context of one‘s work, one should be aware of implication
of that work.
• 2. To shifts the responsibility and blames the others in the organization.
14
15. • Thus, conceiving engineering as social experimentation, it is important that
engineers act as responsible agents. The responsible agents require
• · Imaginative forecasting of possible bad side effects
• · The development of an attitude of ‗defensive engineering‘ and preventive
technology‘
• · Careful monitoring of projects and
• · Respect for people rights to give informed consent
15
16. Example
• A company may produce items with obsolescence built into them ,
or the items might promote unnecessary energy usage
• It is easy to place the burden on the sales department : “Let them
inform the customers”
• It may be natural to thus rationalize one’s neglect of safety or cost
considerations , but it shows no moral concern.
16
17. Moral autonomy:
• The moral autonomy is the ability to think critically and
independently about moral issues and apply this moral thinking to
situations that arise during the professional engineering practice.
• Moral Beliefs and attitudes basis of Critical reflection
• It is understood that an individual personality depends on the
integration of his moral benefits and attitude.
• When one‘s labour and skills are sold, then it is an illusion to think
that the person is not morally autonomous.
17
18. • As an experimenter, an engineer has to undergo an extensive and
updated training to form his identity as a professional.
• There will be a personal involvement in one‘s work.
• The magnitude of moral autonomy to be experienced by engineering
is highly influenced by the attitude of company‘s managements.
• Where there is a treat for engineers‘ moral autonomy, then engineers
can look for moral support from their professional societies and
outside organization.
18
19. ATTITUDE OF MANAGEMENT
• Plays a decisive (vital) role in how much moral autonomy engineers
feel they have.
• Long term interest
• Thoughtful &
• involvement in project
19
20. Accountability:
• The term 'accountability‘ means being responsible, liable, answerable or
obligated.
• In proper terms, the accountability refers to the general tendency of being
willing to submit ones action to any type of moral scrutiny and be
responsive to others assessment.
• It involves a willingness to present morally convincing reason for ones
action and conduct.
• Morally responsible people are expected to accept morally responsibility for
their action.
20
21. • According to Stanely Milgram, people are not willing to accept
personal accountability when placed under authority.
• There exist a lot of difference and separation between casual
influence and moral accountability in all professions including
engineering.
21
22. • Because of modern engineering practices, the complication in accepting one‘s moral
accountability further worsened. Some of these situations are explained below:
•
• 1. Modern engineering projects involve teamwork, in which each members contributes a
small of personal accountability.
• 2. The modern organization are based on the principle of division of work‘. Due to this
division of work, the personal accountability also stretched within hierarchies of authority.
• 3. A preoccupation with legalities in a time of proliferating malpractice lawsuits.
