Engineering has a direct and vital effect on the quality of life of people.
Accordingly, the services provided by engineers must be dedicated to the protection of the public safety, health and welfare
Their expertise places them in a unique position to monitor projects, to identify risks, and to provide clients and public with the information needed to make reasonable decisions.
Conscientious
People responsibly to the extent that they conscientiously commit themselves to live according to moral values. Moving beyond truism leads immediately to controversy over the precise nature of those values. Engineering as social experimentation restores the vision of Engineers as Guardians of the Public Interest
Relevant Information
Conscientiousness is blind without relevant factual information. Showing moral concern involves a commitment to obtain properly assessed information to meet ones moral obligations.
Moral autonomy
Moral conduct and principles of action are their own.
Accountability
Summary
Engineering is a form of social experimentation: Innovation with social & environmental impacts Uncertainty & risk in outcomes. Stakeholders have a right to informed consent: Information, opportunity, decision making capability Problems in implementation: Lack of a control group & corporate pressures Difficulty in identifying stakeholders Irreducible uncertainty
