Questions:
Credit for Engineering Work--Preparation of Grant Application Facts: Engineer A is a Ph.D. student working with Professor Smith. Engineer A is near the completion of the research project and has prepared a paper for publication. Professor Smith recently hired another Ph.D. student, Engineer B, who will continue on the same project after Engineer A graduates. Professor Smith would like to renew his funding for that project and prepares a new grant application with the help of Engineer B. Professor Smith has an electronic version of Engineer A's paper and copies most of the figures and about half the text in the grant application from Engineer A's paper. Engineer A has presented some of the work reported in her paper at a conference. That presentation is cited in the grant application, but only in the "background" and "significance sections. Engineer A is concerned that whoever reads the application may attribute to Engineer B all the work presented in the progress report" section. Engineer A is also concerned that Engineer B will be submitting exactly the same figures and text when she publishes her paper. 1. What specific sections of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics were violated? How was each section violated? Be specific and make sure to give the full citation for each section violated! This can be done best in a table format. i.e. Section Wording Section Violated How was this Section Violated? 2. Dialing back to time zero, if all of this had never happened, how should Professor Smith, Engineer A and Engineer B have ethically handled this? Remember, this is a technical writing course, not English Composition so use BULLETS, not paragraphs! Grading Rubric Completeness and logic of answers Specific sections of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code violated provided and why each was violated Quality of writing Clarity of writing - how easy would it be for the National Society of Professional Engineers Board to use this document at a disciplinary hearing?
