Con• Declining sales of companies
Piracy is the illegal reproduction and selling of copyrighted materials

ENGINEERING ETHICS
DC – 10 JUMBO JET
The fuselage of the DC – 10 Jumbo jet of which the cargo door is a part was developed by Convair, a sub contractor for McDonnell Douglas.
Convair’s senior engineer directing the project, Dan Applegate had written to the Vice president of the company: “The Cargo door could burst open, leading to crash of the plane. Hence the door has to be redesigned and the cabin floor has to strengthened”.
Top Management at Convair neither disputed the technical facts or the predictions made by Applegate. The liabilities and the cost of redesign were to high.
Two years went by. In 1974 the cargo door of DC – 10 Jumbo burst open and the jet crashed near Paris killing 346 .

ENGINEERING ETHICS The study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations engaged in engineering.
The study of related questions about moral ideals, character, policies and relationship of people and corporations involved in technological activity.
Engineering ethics course is not about preaching virtue rather, its objective is to increase your ability as engineers to responsibly confront moral issues raised by technological activity.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR ENGINEERSTHE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
Is there a body or agency that monitors ethics in engineering
particularly Chemical Engineering?
YES!!!..National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), USA
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE), USA
Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers (PIChE), Phil.
Why Are Ethics Important to Engineers?
• Engineering is an important and learned profession. Engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
• Engineers must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.
• Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior which requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.
National Society of Professional Engineers
The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) is the national society of engineering professionals from all disciplines that promotes the ethical and competent practice of engineering, promotes licensure and enhances the image and well-being of its members.
NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers Fundamental Canons
Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall:
• 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.

This organization gives importance to these values, namely: integrity, honor and dignity.
AIChE Code of EthicsTo achieve the goals of the organization, members shall:
•Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and protect the environment in performance of their professional duties.•Formally advise their employers or clients (and consider further disclosure, if warranted) if they perceive that a consequence of their duties will adversely affect the present or future health or safety of their colleagues or the public.•Accept responsibility for their actions, seek and heed critical review of their work and offer objective criticism of the work of others.•Issue statements or present information only in an objective and truthful manner.•Act in professional matters for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees, avoiding conflicts of interest and never breaching confidentiality.
•Treat fairly and respectfully all colleagues and co-workers, recognizing their unique contributions and capabilities.•Perform professional services only in areas of their competence.•Build their professional reputations on the merits of their services.•Continue their professional development throughout their careers, and provide opportunities for the professional development of those under their supervision.•Never tolerate harassment.•Conduct themselves in a fair, honorable and respectful manner.
Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineer
Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers or PIChE is the organization that is committed to the continual development of all its members in order to make them become globally competitive.
As professional chemical engineers, we adhere to the following core values:1. Excellence2. Commitment3. Integrity4. Service
Is Ethics confined only in
Engineering?
Of Course NOT!!!..
Where can ethics be applied?..• Business• Philosophy• Managerial and marketing• Medical and pharmacy fields• Politics and economics• Health care• psychology
