Should be considered required reading for all professional engineers January 30, 2006

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Most engineers consider themselves very ethical, and even make the effort to read the codes of ethics established for their profession. They would do themselves well to read this book. Every engineer will learn about deeper ethical issues, and some situations where they never realized an ethical issue even existed. From a model of how to deal with ethical dilemmas, ethical theories, public safety in design, the complicated faces of honesty, workplace ethics, and environmental ethics. The book reads slow in spots but the information is too important to be skipped or skimmed.
