What is Engineering?
Engineering is a scientific field and job that involves taking our
scientific understanding of the natural world and using it to invent,
design, and build things to solve problems and achieve practical
goals.
Case:
Suppose you are a passenger in a car driven by a close friend. The
friend is exceeding the speed limit and has an accident. There are no
witnesses, and his lawyer tells you that if you testify that your friend
was not exceeding the speed limit, it will save him from a jail sentence.

5 cornerstones of Personal Ethical Behavior
1. Do what you say you will do.
2. Never divulge information given to you in confidence.
3. Accept responsibility for your actions (and mistakes).
4. Never become involved in a lie.
5. Never accept gifts that compromise your ability to perform in the
best interests of your organization
Professional Ethics
A professional code of ethics has the goal of ensuring that a profession
serves the legitimate goals of all its constituencies: self, employer,
profession, and public. The code protects the members of the
profession from some undesired consequences of competition (e.g.,
the pressure to cut corners to save money) while leaving the members
of the profession free to benefit from the desirable consequences of
competition (such as invention and innovation).
Examples of Professional Ethics
• Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.
• Perform services only in areas of their competence.
• Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner.
• Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees.
• Avoid deceptive acts.
• Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so
as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.
Common Traits of Good Engineers
• Engineers are problem solvers.
• Good engineers have a firm grasp of the fundamental principles of engineering, which they can use to solve
many different problems.
• Good engineers are analytical, detailed oriented, and creative.
• Good engineers have a desire to be lifelong learners.
• Good engineers, regardless of their area of specialization, have a core knowledge that can be applied to many
areas.
• Good engineers have written and oral communication skills that equip them to work well with their colleagues
and to convey their expertise to a wide range of clients.
• Good engineers have time-management skills that enable them to work productively and efficiently.
• Good engineers have good “people skills” that allow them to interact and communicate effectively with various
people in their organization. For example, they are able to communicate equally well with the sales and marketing
experts and their own colleagues.
• Engineers are required to write reports. These reports might be lengthy, detailed technical reports containing
graphs, charts, and engineering drawings, or they may take the form of brief memoranda or executive summaries.
• Engineers are adept at using computers in many different ways to model and analyze various practical problems.
• Good engineers actively participate in local and national discipline-specific organizations by attending seminars,
workshops, and meetings.
• Engineers generally work in a team environment where they consult each other to solve complex problems.
