Guidelines for
Facilitating Solutions to Ethical Dilemmas in Professional Practice
Ethical problems are inherent in engineering practice. This
9-step process, featured by the Ethics
Case of the Month Club, can help guide engineers, and
engineering students,
through such situations.
Analyzing and Resolving
Ethical Problems
This process is taken from Practicing Engineering Ethics, by
Charles E. Harris, Jr. et al. It takes an engineer through several
steps to breakdown a moral problem. It differentiates between
factual, conceptual, and ethical questions, highlights different
types of choices a problem presents, and gives tips on devising
a solution.
