b) Communication (writing and speech)
c) Decisions (ideas, discretion)
d) Actions (means, timing, place, and the goals)
e) Intended and unintended results achieved
15

Some of the actions of an engineering professional
that leads to dishonesty,

2. Deliberate deception (Fraud)
3. Withholding the information
4. Not seeking the truth
5. Not maintaining confidentiality
6. Giving professional judgment under the influence
of extraneous factors

Courage
Courage is the tendency to accept and face risks and difficult
tasks in rational ways
• Courage is classified into three types, based on the types of
risks, namely
Physical courage: People with high adrenalin, may be prepared
to face challenges for the mere ‘thrill’
Social courage: involves the decisions and actions to change the
order requires leadership abilities
Intellectual courage: People through acquired knowledge,
experience, sports, education, and training
• Look before you leap. One should perform Strengths,
Weakness, Opportunities, and Threat (SWOT) analysis.
Calculate (estimate) the risks, compare with one’s strengths,
and anticipate the end results, while taking decisions and
before getting into action. 17
Courage cont.
The courageous people own and have shown the
following characteristics, in their professions:
• Perseverance (sustained hard work),
• Experimentation (preparedness to face the
challenges, that is, unexpected or unintended
results),
• Involvement (attitude, clear and firm resolve to
act), and
• Commitment (willing to get into action and to
reach the desired goals by any alternative but
ethical means).
18
Co-operation
Co-operation is activity among persons or sectors that aims at
integration of operations (synergy), while not sacrificing the
autonomy of either party
• Team-spirit present with every individual engaged in
engineering
• Working together ensures, coherence
– blending of different skills required towards common goals
The obstacle to successful co-operation are:
1. Clash of ego of individuals
2. Lack of leadership and motivation
3. Conflicts of interests, based on region, religion, language, and
caste.
4. Ignorance and lack of interest 19
Commitment

principles during the activities
20

• Sensing what others feel about, without their open talk
• ability to put one’s self into the psychological frame or
reference or point of view of another
– Understanding others
– Service orientation
– Developing others
– Leveraging diversity
– Political awareness
The benefits of empathy include:
1. Good customer relations (in sales and service, in
partnering).
2. Harmonious labour relations (in manufacturing).
3. Good vendor-producer relationship (in partnering.) 21
Self-Confidence

goals, is self-confidence
• positive thinking
• flexible and willing to change
• respect others
22
Challenges

‘Spirit’uality
• Spirituality is a way of living that emphasizes the constant
awareness and recognition of the spiritual dimension (mind
and its development) of nature and people, with a dynamic
balance between the material development and the spiritual
development.
• Sometimes, spirituality includes the faith or belief in
supernatural power/God, regarding the worldly events. It
functions as a fertilizer for the soil ‘character’ to blossom into
values and morals.
• Spirituality includes creativity, communication, recognition of
the individual as human being, respect to others, acceptance,
and partnership.
• Creativity in spirituality means conscious efforts to see things
differently, to break out of habits and outdated beliefs to find
new ways of thinking, doing and being. 26
