 INTRODUCTION TO
ENGINEERING ETHICS
Teaching engineering ethics in academic
01 institutions is undertaken largely through
many case studies for creating awareness
interactively among engineering students
By studying engineering ethics, the 02
of all disciplines.
students develop awareness and
assessment skill of the likely impact of
their future decisions on moral and ethical
grounds.

 ETHICAL STANDARDS IN ENGINEERING ARE INFLUENCED BY
MANY FACTORS:
Engineering as an experimentation for the good of mankind is a notable factor involving far reaching consequence,

01 Ethical dilemmas make engineering decisions relatively difficult to make.

Risk and safety of citizens as a social responsibility is a prime concern of an engineer,

02

Technological advancement can be very demanding on the engineering skill in the global context

03
Moral values and responsible conduct will play a crucial role in decision making.

❖ Ethics in engineering then is the ability as well as responsibility of

an engineer to judge his decisions from the context of the general
wellbeing of the society.
.‫األخالق في الهندسة هي قدرة ومسؤولية المهندس للحكم على قراراته من سياق الرفاهية العامة للمجتمع‬

❖ It is the study of moral issues that confront engineers and

engineering organizations when some crucial decisions are
taken.

 ENGINEERING ETHICS
❖ Engineering research and practice requires that the task being
performed considers all the pros and cons of a certain action and its
implementation. Professional engineering bodies like, IEEE, ASME, IEI
etc., Have evolved comprehensive ethics codes relevant to their
respective professions, based on the rich experience of their members.
Independent organizations like NSPE have prepared value based
ethical codes applicable to all engineering professions.

ENGINEERING ETHICS

Work ethic is a set of values based on hard work and diligence.

It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character.

Good work ethics includes a positive attitude with all work projects, having the
capacity to encourage the best performance standards from your fellow workers.

10
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

● Professional ethics is a set of ethical

standards and values a practicing engineer
is required to follow.

● It sets the standards for professional

practice, and is only learned in a
professional school or while practicing ones
own profession.

● The scope of professional ethics envelopes

diverse activities like engineering as a social
experimentation, engineers responsibility
for safety, and global issues and concerns.
11
PROFESSIONAL CODES
OF ETHICS
A professional has obligations to the
employer, to customers, to other
01 professionals- colleagues with specific
expectations of reciprocity.

A code of ethics prescribes how professionals are

02
to pursue their common ideal so that each may do
the best at a minimal cost to oneself and those
they care about.

12
INDIVIDUAL
RESPONSIBILITY

01 A professional is answerable and liable for the actions. He

should have the capacity and moral strength to defend
his actions/decisions.

02 An individual in his professional capacity has

responsibility for the regular tasks he is assigned, for the
outcomes of the actions and decisions.

 HUMAN VALUES, MORALS, VALUES AND ETHICS

‫ا ل ق ي م و ا أل خ ال ق و ا ل ق ي م و ا أل خ ال ق ا إل ن س ا ن ي ة‬

➢ While laws are a set of rules for personal or corporate behavior, morals and ethics are self
imposed or regulated and voluntary when broadly interpreted.

➢ ‫ فإن األخالق واألخالق‬، ‫في حين أن القوانين هي مجموعة من القواعد للسلوك الشخصي أو المؤسسي‬
.‫مفروضة ذاتيا أو منظمة وطوعية عند تفسيرها على نطاق واسع‬

➢ Human values are the range of values pertinent to the human condition, interest, behavior,
and aspiration.

.‫ وطموحه‬،‫ وسلوكه‬،‫ ومصلحته‬،‫➢ القيم اإلنسانية هي مجموعة من القيم ذات الصلة بحالة اإلنسان‬

SERVICE LEARNING

01 Service learning is a method of teaching that combines

formal instruction with a related service in the
community.

02 Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that

integrates meaningful community service with instruction
and reflection to enrich the learning experience.

03 Through service-learning, young people use what they

learn in the classroom to solve real-life problems.
