Common ethical dilemmas faced by engineers are presented along with different views on defining ethical behavior.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY
1. Develop the Alternatives;
2. Focus on the Differences;
3. Use a Consistent Viewpoint;
4. Use a Common Unit of Measure;
5. Consider All Relevant Criteria;
6. Make Uncertainty Explicit;
7. Revisit Your Decisions
DEVELOP THE ALTERNATIVES
The final choice (decision) is among alternatives. The alternatives need to be identified and then defined for subsequent analysis.
FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCES
Only the differences in expected future outcomes among the alternatives are relevant to their comparison and should be considered in the decision.
USE A CONSISTENT VIEWPOINT
The prospective outcomes of the alternatives, economic and other, should be consistently developed from a defined viewpoint (perspective).
USE A COMMON UNIT OF MEASURE
Using a common unit of measurement to enumerate as many of the prospective outcomes as possible will make easier the analysis and comparison of alternatives.
CONSIDER ALL RELEVANT CRITERIA
Selection of a preferred alternative (decision making) requires the use of a criterion (or several criteria). The decision process should consider the outcomes enumerated in the monetary unit and those expressed in some other unit of measurement or made explicit in a descriptive manner.
MAKE UNCERTAINTY EXPLICIT
Uncertainty is inherent in projecting (or estimating) the future outcomes of the alternatives and should be recognized in their analysis and comparison.
REVISIT YOUR DECISIONS
Improved decision making results from an adaptive process; to the extent practicable, the initial projected outcomes of the selected alternative should be subsequently compared with actual results achieved.

The presentation is a mechanical engineering presentation on the basics of metal joining processes. The basics of metal joining processes such as welding, riveting is explained in detail.
High-frequency welding is included in a group of resistance welding process variations that use high-frequency welding current (1kHz to 800kHz) to concentrate the welding heat at the desired location.
The heat produces the coalescence of metals, and an upsetting force usually is applied to produce a forged weld.
High-frequency resistance welding is an automated process and is not adaptable to manual welding.
High-frequency resistance welding was developed during the late 1940s and early 1950s to fill the need for high-integrity butt joints and seam welds in pipe and tubing.
But today the process is also used in the manufacture of products such as spiral-fin boiler tubes, closed roll form shapes, and welded structural beams.
A wide range of commonly used metals can be welded, including low-carbon and alloy steels, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, and many aluminum, copper, titanium, and nickel alloys.

Professionalism and Professional PracticesGupta Pandiri
Characteristics and responsibilitiesof professional engineers
Professional engineers are expected to possess :
education, knowledge, and skills in an engineering specialty that exceed those of the general public.
willingness to stay abreast of discoveries and technological changes by participation in professional meetings and continuing education.
willingness to advance professional knowledge, ideals, and practice and to share their knowledge with their peers.
a sense of responsibility and service to society and to their employers and clients, and they must act honorably in their dealings with others.
willingness to follow established codes of ethics for their profession and to guard their professional integrity and ideals and those of their profession.
The Ethics Committee of the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development prepared the following statement describing the faith of the engineer:
I AM AN ENGINEER. In my profession I take deep pride, but without vainglory; to it I owe solemn obligations that I am eager to fulfill.
As an Engineer, I will participate in none but honest enterprise. To him that has engaged my services, as employer or client, I will give the utmost of performance and fidelity.
When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given without reservation for the public good. From special capacity springs the obligation to use it well in the service to humanity; and I accept the challenge that this implies.
Jealous of the high repute of my calling, I will strive to protect the interests and the good name of any engineer that I know to be deserving; but I will not shrink, should duty dictate, from disclosing the truth regarding anyone that, by unscrupulous act, has shown himself unworthy of the Profession.
Ideals and obligations of professional engineers
Since the Age of Stone, human progress has been conditioned by the genius of my professional forebears. By them have been rendered usable to mankind Nature’s vast resources of material and energy. By them have been vitalized and turned to practical account the principles of science and the revelations of technology. Except for this heritage of accumulated experience, my efforts would be feeble. I dedicate myself to the dissemination of engineering knowledge, and especially to the instruction of younger members of my profession in all its arts and traditions.
To my fellows I pledge, in the same full measure I ask of them, integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and devotion to the standards and the dignity of our profession; with the consciousness, always, that our special expertness carries with it the obligation to serve humanity with complete sincerity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

made an important scientific discovery. It
will substantially reduce, but not eliminate,
you profit for about a year. There is a
possibility of hiring one of the competitor’s
employees who knows the details of the
discovery……
12. Dilemma 2: As a mortgage loan officer, you
sign a customer up for an adjustable rate
payment at 8.5 percent. The loan rate
could rise to 10.5 in one year. Do you
warn the customer how much, in dollars,
his payment could increase?
