MORALS
Morals are the rules that govern which actions are
right and which actions are wrong.
It can be for all of a society or an individual’s beliefs.
Sometimes a moral can be gleaned from a story or an
experience.
The moral may be left to the hearer, reader, or viewer
to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly
encapsulated in a maxim.
Yet even though morals can vary from person to
person and culture to culture, many are universal, as
they result from basic human emotions

of some thing or action, with the aim of
determining what actions are best to do or what
way is best to live (normative ethics), or to
describe the significance of different actions.

objects, putting value to them.
Values can be defined as broad preferences
concerning appropriate courses of actions or
outcomes.

ETHICS
Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch
of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending,
and recommending concepts of right and
wrong conduct.
Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by
defining concepts such as good and evil, right
and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime.
As a field of intellectual enquiry, moral philosophy
also is related to the fields of moral
psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

INTEGRITY
Integrity is the qualifications of being honest and
having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
It is generally a personal choice to hold oneself to
consistent moral and ethical standards.
Integrity can stand in opposition to hypocrisy, in that
judging with the standards of integrity involves
regarding internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests
that parties holding within themselves apparently
conflicting values should account for the discrepancy
or alter their beliefs.

SERVICE LEARNING
Service-learning is an educational approach that combines
learning objectives with community service in order to
provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience
while meeting societal needs.
Service-learning involves students in service projects to
apply classroom learning for local agencies that exist to
effect positive change in the community.
The National Youth Leadership Council defines service
learning as "a philosophy, pedagogy, and model for
community development that is used as an instructional
strategy to meet learning goals and/or content standards"

CIVIC VIRTUE
Civic virtue is the cultivation of habits of personal
living that are claimed to be important for the
success of the community.
Closely linked to the concept of citizenship,
civic virtue is often conceived as the dedication of
citizens to the common welfare of their community
even at the cost of their individual interests.
The identification of the character traits that
constitute civic virtue has been a major concern
of political philosophy.

SPIRITUALITY
Traditionally, spirituality refers to a religious process
of re-formation which "aims to recover the original
shape of man," oriented at "the image of God" as
exemplified by the founders and sacred texts of the
religions of the world.
In modern times the emphasis is on subjective
experience of a sacred dimension and the "deepest
values and meanings by which people live," often in a
context separate from organized religious institutions.
There is no single, widely agreed definition of
spirituality.

SENSES OF
ENGINEERING ETHICS
Ethics is an activity and area of inquiry.
When we speak of ethical problems, issues, and
controversies, we mean to distinguish them from non
moral problems.
Sometimes the word ‘Ethics’ is used to refer to the
particular set of beliefs, attitudes, and habits that a
person or a group displays concerning morality.
The word ‘Ethics’ and its grammatical variantscan be
used as synonyms for “morally correct”.

VARIETY OF MORAL
ISSUES
Micro ethics- One emphasizes typical, everyday
problems that can take on significant proportions in
an engineer’s life or an entire engineering office.
Macro ethics- The other addresses societal problems
that are often shunted aside and are not addressed
until they unexpectedly resurface an a regional or
national scale.
Neither approaches catches the whole spectrum of
ethical problems engineers might encunter.
