What is ethics in engineering? Engineers develop technology that has a major impact, positive and negative, on people and the environment. This means that engineers must take a stand and make moral judgements. Also, they need to take other stakeholders into consideration – employees, owners, customers and suppliers – who might have conflicting interests. In this book a practical, hands-on process for handling ethical dilemmas is presented: awareness, responsibility, critical thinking and acti...

What is ethics in engineering? Engineers develop technology that has a major impact, positive and negative, on people and the environment. This means that engineers must take a stand and make moral judgements. Also, they need to take other stakeholders into consideration – employees, owners, customers and suppliers – who might have conflicting interests. In this book a practical, hands-on process for handling ethical dilemmas is presented: awareness, responsibility, critical thinking and action. The author gives many examples from engineering areas ranging from construction to transhumanism. In a recurring case you as a reader think through each of the steps in the process: to develop or not develop the “Life Partner”. What is good and evil, right and wrong? That is the question.
