Topic:
A Case Study of Ethics in Engineering: Build It and They Will Come- Build It Wrong and They Will Sue
Speaker:
Henry A. Zomerfeld
Description:
Ethics is the underpinning of many professions, particularly those with licenses, like engineers. This presentation will focus on the ethical obligations of engineering professionals, with an emphasis on general principles of ethics, conflicts of interest, timely disclosures, and distinctions for those who work for public municipal entities. Notable matters, including the Boeing 737 investigation, Fiat-Chrysler litigation, and the VW emissions case, will be examined. These cases will illustrate the importance of maintaining ethics in practice and the implications when ethical duties are breached.
