Abstract:

Our common purpose as professional engineers is to safeguard life, health, and property and to promote the public welfare. Professional ethics concerns the standard of professional conduct and responsibility required of a professional engineer. Our discussion will address issues like perception of wrong-doing, correcting mistakes, character, competency, accountability, conflicts of interest, trust, integrity, and avoiding deceptive acts.
