Engineering ethics and professional standards are essential components for individuals and organizations, guiding behavior and decision-making based on moral values and principles. Ethics refer to moral standards of right and wrong, shaping conduct and defining responsibilities towards society. Professional ethics encompass codes of conduct specific to a particular profession, ensuring competency, knowledge, and adherence to ethical standards. Understanding ethics is crucial for maintaining integrity and upholding societal values in the engineering profession.

Ethics Refers to well based standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.

Engineering Ethics Engineering Ethics is based on Preventative Ethics which is based on two dimensions: 1- Think ahead and anticipate possible consequences of professional actions. 2- Think effectively about consequences and decide what is the ethically correct manner to handle the situation
Concepts of Engineering Ethics 1. Ethical engineering decisions. 2. The professional obligations of engineers go beyond fulfilling a contract with a client or customer. 3. Codes of ethics can provide guidance in the decision-making process Ethical obligations do not stop at any country s border; they are global. considerations are an integral part of making

You can ask yourself (when making any decisions)
