| Abstract | This book seeks to provide students with practical insight into the engineering code of ethics and how a practicing engineering is obligated to act in a responsible manner. The book is written as a dialogue between two characters that encounter a number of situations that test the engineering code of ethics, and the characters' dialogue helps highlight different perspectives on realistic situations that students will face as practicing engineers. |
