Both engineering and human living takes place in a messy world, one chock full of unknowns and contingencies. To begin with, a design problem raises many questions: how to make occupants of vehicles safer, settle on an interface for an x-ray machine, or create more legible road signs. In choosing any particular solution, engineers must make value choices. These texts provide the foundation of ethics for engineering. The aim of these books is to generate a strong operational ethic in the work of engineers from all disciplines. Providing numerous examples of engineers who sought to meet the highest ethical standards, risking both professional and personal retaliations. Topics that are covered include whistle-blowing, the problem of many hands, gifts, bribes, conflicts of interest, engineering and environmental ethics, privacy and computer ethics, ethical technology assessment, and the ethics of cost-benefit analysis and risk and uncertainty. Illuminating the ethical dimension of engineering practice and helping students and professionals determine engineers’ context-specific ethical responsibilities.
