The trend of the profession to favor the idea of requiring the benefit of humanity for professionalism violates an engineer's rights by applying political pressure that dissuades from inquiry, approaches to new knowledge and technologies, and the presentation, publication, and use of designs and research findings. Moreover, a more politically neutral definition of engineering and/or professionalism devoid of required service or benefit to mankind does not violate adherence to strong ethical standards. </style></abstract><doi><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1007/s11948-009-9166-x</style></doi><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58456536</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stieb, James A. 1,2; Email Address: stiebja@drexel.edu; Affiliation: 1: Department of English and Philosophy, Drexel University, MacAlister Hall, Room 5055, Philadelphia, PA, USA 2: College of Arts and Sciences, Drexel University, 3141 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA; Source Info: Mar2011, Vol. 17 Issue 1, p149; Subject Term: ENGINEERING; Subject Term: PROFESSIONALISM; Subject Term: ENGINEERS; Subject Term: ALTRUISM; Subject Term: CODES of ethics; Author-Supplied Keyword: Altruism; Author-Supplied Keyword: Codes of ethics; Author-Supplied Keyword: NSPE; Author-Supplied Keyword: Professionalism; Author-Supplied Keyword: Rights; Number of Pages: 21p; Document Type: Article</style></notes></record></records></xml>
