Part 1: Engineering Code of Ethics.
As engineers, we must work professionally, adhering to the highest principle of ethical behavior. In my day-day duties as engineers, we must observe to cordially work without the violation of the rights of the public concerning its safety, health, and welfare. Also, ethics helps us have a good working relationship with each other and the clients we work for. Generally, the field of engineering is guided by moral principles that are followed in the practice of the profession. They help examine and set goals engineers must meet to the society, clients, and the profession itself. Therefore, this essay strives to bring out the engineering ethics of work and their importance in the engineering profession and the societies in which engineers work.
One of the major areas of concern in the engineering profession is the society where work is being done. It is key to note that without society and the general public, the work of an engineer will not be practical. Therefore, as a code of ethics, we as engineers should hold paramount the public's safety, health, and welfare. Our decisions, judgments, and practices incorporated into machines, products, and any other attendance area should be screened and declared fit for the general public's welfare. With other public safety bodies such as the National environment management authority, engineers should ensure that they meet the standards set by such bodies for the guaranteed and enhanced safety of the society in which they work.
It is important to note that false information is detrimental to the engineering sector. With the wrong information, the engineering work is bound to be sub-standard. It is with this regard that engineers should avoid deceptive acts. We should never give false information about our qualifications or allow misrepresentation of their qualifications. We are supposed to give clean facts about our past accomplishments, employers, employees, any joint activity carried out, and any other information as may be required. When soliciting for a contract or employment, corruption helps manipulate for consideration, and it is not a good practice. For quality work, we should not give or receive any contribution for influencing the award of a contract. In return, only qualified engineers will be issued with such works.
When issued a contract or offered employment, we should act as faithful agents for each employer. In case of any conflict of interest, the web is supposed to share with the employer to avoid influencing the quality of work done. It is unethical to solicit financial consideration directly or indirectly from outside agents connected with the work responsible. For the same project, one party should make payments to avoid conflicts between the two agents and double payment for one project. Being a faithful agent to the employer is good ethical behavior which we should observe to create a good working relationship between an engineer and the client or employer. For a government institution in which I am a member, offering work to my family members will be unethical and compromised.
