Engineering ethics are described on pages 15-19 of the course text book, and was covered in the presentation and explanation of Chapter 1, The assignment consists of the following three parts:
1.) Answer questions 1-34, 1-37 and 1-50 of Chapter 1.
2.) Find three references on engineering ethics (articles, books, etc.) and read them.
Identify in your report the references of your readings, and include a short summary of each article.
3.) Describe three different situations of your choice where ethical dilemmas may arise when you are going to be working as an Industrial Engineer. Substitute “Industrial” with your major if you are not an IE.
For each situation you should include the following parts:
a. Description of the situation
b. Explanation of the ethical dilemma.
c. The different actions/resolutions which are reasonably available to you.
d. What you are going to do and why.
Since to do this you will need to do a little research and some thoughtful writing, you have more time to do it. It is due when we return from spring break, that is March 22nd. HOWEVER, if you want to start on this now that you do not have a heavy load of work in your other courses, you may finish it and submit it any time before the deadline. The submission should be typed.
This will count for half the homework assignments, meaning that if you do not do it, your overall grade will be reduced by ½ (i.e., B+ to B, B to C+, etc.).
If you want to do this right away and you do not have the book yet, I am including in this module the next file named “Ethics Material from Text”. It contains the entire pertinent section from the book and the three questions mentioned in part 1) above.
