done.
-Branch of knowledge
concerned with

5. is engineering
ethics?

6. Engineering Ethics is the study of moral
issues and decisions confronting
individuals and organizations
engaged in engineering.
Is the study of the decisions, policies,
and values that are morally desirable
in engineering practice and research.

8. To understand the standards
governing what is acceptable
behavior in the practice of
engineering.

10. The best way to
teach
engineering
ethics is by
using cases…

12. Students should be introduced to ethics in as
many times and places inside and outside the
curriculum as possible.
Guest lectures
Presentations to student chapters of
professional societies
And many other possibilities present
themselves.

MORAL COHERENCE
MORAL IMAGINATION
MORAL COMMUNICATION
MORAL REASONABLENESS
RESPECT FOR PERSONS
MORAL HOPE
INTEGRITY

Conduct

16. Engineering Ethics are Social
Experiments
that generate both new responsibilities for
creating benefits preventing harm and
pointing out dangers
Moral Values
pervade all aspect of technological
development, and hence ethics and excellence
in engineering go together

17. Micro & Macro Issues
Micro Issues concern the decisions made by
individuals and companies
Macro Issues concern more about global
issues
Both Micro & Macro Issues are important in
Engineering ethics and often they are come
together

18. Technological development
warrants cautious optimism-optimism with
cautions
Promoting responsible conduct
promulgating and obeying the right laws
and preventing wrong doing.

19. Ethical Dilemmas
problems that may occur in engineering, as
elsewhere, because moral values are myriad
and can conflict
The Engineers Responsibility for
Safety
safety consideration must be included in
design from the start
-It is an engineer’s duty to protect the safety and
well being of the public
