Overview This final examination is a chance for you to research a topic based on an ethical code statement that is interesting to you. You will choose one from a given list of engineering code of ethics statements, conduct research on the statement, present a case study by putting yourself in the main role (Imaginary or taken from any source with reference), analyze the situations presented in the case by you as the concerned Engineer, and then present your analysis to the class in a report format. Technical Report Details: The following is a detailed layout of the process leading up to the report writing on chosen engineering ethics statement: 1. Selection of Possible Ethics statement and Case study students are required to choose ONE ethics case study based on your chosen code from below lit may be real life case or an hypothetical/imaginary case study) from the code of ethics that are provided at the end of this document. The chosen cases should be those that are of most interest to you (individual assignment); consider the related engineering field(s). The main important thing is that in the case study you put yourself in the main Actor (i.e. in the position of the Engineer). 2. Ethics Case study Analysis After you have selected the case, you are required to complete an analysis of your ethical case study. The information in the completed analysis should provide the base of the content for your report. Make sure to include as much detail as possible, including assumptions you may have made. You will be evaluated based on your individual ability as an engineer to: - Address each of the issues and points of ethical conflict presented in the case or problem (i.e. Identify the primary "ethical dilemma (or question) in the case). Include any assumptions made about this case. - Identify what engineering field(s) this ethics case is related to. - Identify the stakeholders in the case (and try to identify an important "right" of each stakeholder). Describe the general duties or obligations of the Main Role (You as an Engineer), which are grounded in moral considerations. - Identify all possible actions and recognize the positive and negative consequences of each action. List and describe alternative courses of action that may be taken and determine the likely consequences of each proposed action for each stakeholder. - Provide a selected action and rationale. Your writing should reflect your analysis of the case. Because you have already completed the analysis, creating the report should just require documenting your existing work and focus on layout of material. When preparing your report, make sure your presentation clearly convey your information to the audience. Ethics Cases: This section of the document contains the ethics statements you can choose to research. Please choose ONE statement according to your choice and choose a case study that directly reflects the application of your chosen code where you act as the main engineer of the case study. Engineering Ethics 1. The role of the engineers for a safe design conforming accepted engineering standards ensuring public health and welfare. 2. The role of the engineers when he has knowledge and reason to believe that the activities of a person or firm will cause harm to public health and safety and endanger environment
