Description
Engineering, as a profession and business, is at the sharp end of the ethical practice. Far from being a bolt on extra to the ?real work'
of the engineer it is at the heart of how he or she relates to the many different stakeholders in the engineering project.
Engineering,
Business and Professional Ethics highlights the ethical dimension of engineering and shows how values and responsibility relate to everyday
practice. Looking at the underlying value systems that inform practical thinking the book offers a framework for ethical decision-making.
Covering global corporate responsibility to the increasing concern for the environment within the engineering business, the book offers
ways in which value conflict can be handled. Integrating practice, value and diversity the book helps to prepare the engineer for the
ethical challenges of the 21st century.
This book is essential reading for all students on courses accredited by the Engineering Council
e.g. Civil, Chemical, Mechanical and Environmental Engineering who need to be aware of ethics. Also of interest to practicing engineers
and professionals such as Sustainability Managers and Community Workers involved in engineering projects.
The authors have worked together
in the area of engineering, professional and business ethics for many years and are all members of the National Centre for Applied Ethics
at the University of Leeds.
