7. Intro
Exploring Engineering
“Science can amuse and fascinate us
all but it is engineering that changes
the world.”
Professor of biochemistry at
Boston University
What is an engineer?
An engineer is a creative, ingenious
person.
What does an engineer do?
Engineers create ingenious solutions to
societal problems
9. What Is Engineering Technology ?
Engineering technology is the profession in which a knowledge
of mathematics and natural sciences gained by higher
education, experience, and practice is devoted primarily to the
implementation and extension of existing technology for the
benefit of humanity.
Engineering technologists work closely with engineers in
coordinating people, material, and machinery to achieve the
specific goals of a particular project. The engineering
technologist is often responsible for design and development.

10. What Makes A “GOOD” 21 st
Century Engineer?
The 21st century will be characterized by the
convergence of many technologies and engineering
systems. The products of today and tomorrow will be
“smarter ” in which computers, sensors, controls,
modern alloys, and plastics are as important as
continuing expertise in the traditional engineering
disciplines.

11. Personal Ethics
Personal ethics are the standards of human behavior that
individuals of different cultures have constructed to make moral
judgments about personal or group situations.
Naturally, they vary over time and from culture to culture,
resulting in conflict when what is acceptable in one culture is
not in another. For example, the notion of privacy in U.S. culture
is very strong, and a desk is considered an extension of that
privacy, whereas in another culture, such as Japan, office space
is open and one’s desk would be considered public domain.

12. Five Cornerstones of Ethical
Behavior
Exploring Engineering
❑ Do what you say you will do.
❑ Never divulge information given to you in
confidence.
❑ Accept responsibility for your mistakes.
❑ Never become involved in a lie.
❑ Never accept gifts that compromise your ability to
perform in the best interests of your organization.
13. Professional Ethics
Having a code of ethics enables an engineer to resist the
pressure to produce substandard work by saying, “ As a
professional, I cannot ethically put business concerns ahead of
professional ethics. ” It also enables the engineer to similarly
resist pressure to allow concerns such as personal desires,
greed, ideology, religion, or politics to override professional
ethics.
As members of this profession, engineers are expected to
exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineers
perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires
adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.

14. National Society of Professional
Engineers Code of Ethics
Fundamental canons
Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall
• Hold 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.
• Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees.
• Avoid deceptive acts.
• Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and
lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness
of the profession.

19. Example - Buying a Car
A car salesperson might say:
a) “This car was driven by an older person
who never exceeded the speed limit.”
and
b) “It has great power, excellent fuel efficiency, and
low pollution.”
What would an engineer say to part a)?

20. Design Criteria
For part a) an engineer might say:
“It was driven by a human about 1.7 meters high
and 2 billion seconds old who never drove it
faster than about 70 meters per second.”
