Ethical considerations, decisions and conduct play a critical role in determining the best outcomes related to the overall impact that business and engineering projects have on society. Guidelines for ethical behavior for various professional disciplines are codified in specific “Code of Ethics” documents that highlight key considerations to ponder when faced with ethical issues. However, it is possible to follow the letter of the law without having the right attitude, perspective, and mindset. Please review the Code of Ethics for your specific engineering discipline and consider the ABET Student Outcomes related to ethics and ethical behavior as you prepare a ½ to one page response to the following questions.

4.1 – Demonstrate application of professional codes and standards to an engineering problem

4.2 – Recommend ethically sound engineering solutions by considering economic, environmental, and/or societal impact in additional to technical considerations

4.3 – Defend engineering choices using arguments based on ethical and professional responsibility

B.) Think about your dream job that encompasses your passion in life. Imagine that you are working on a project in which you are faced with an ethical crisis that demands your careful consideration. Please briefly describe your situation and using the ABET criteria above as guidelines, describe how you will develop a solution for your ethical challenge. You may use an Engineering Grand Challenge issue, something from the current media, or a historical ethical problem of your choice.
