The Ethics of Professional Engineers Hadeer H. AbdelAziz & Samy S. Soliman Abstract—Engineering ethics is an important and hot topic as in medical ,legal , business ethics. It is a part of what engineers in particular know as factors of safety, testing proce- dures, reliability, durability, the optimum use of resources and the best solution of the problem.It is the right time for all engineering schools to teach engineering ethics in individual courses or special programmes for them. keywords: Engineering ,Ethics, Professional Engineer I. I MPORTANCE OF ENGINEERING ETHICS To be an Engineer , Engineering ethics is a part of your Car- rier . It is about your behavior with community , colleges and your managers . the term "ethics" stands for the special way to communicate with people around by standards of morality [1]. Every professional carrier has its ethics called professional ethics, Only people in the medicine follow up medical ethics, people in the business follow up business ethics, lawyers follow up ethics only related to them , also engineers only follow up engineering ethics. Engineers during their lives study many materials related to science and mathematics .They study scientific theories and understand them well to help them making the optimum solution of the problem they face in the practical era. There is no fixed scheme of solution for every problem they face ,so the acronym " applied with judgment " stands for the role of engineers ;hence an engineer should do many practice for ruling . The best and ultimate use of science they learned in the college. Engineering as a profession has an important effect on human kind and the whole environment which means for all things ; hence engineering and ethics are tangled .The importance of studying engineering ethics comes from that it can help students to solve many issues they will have in professional practice. one suggestion for students to learn ethics by case studies. Standards of engineering ethics can be classified into many codes ranging from formal to less formal interpretation depending on the connection between engineers’ generations. So ,Engineering ethics could be taught by practice or if the engineer has one of its family member who is an engineer to exchange experience. II. RULES AND FUNDAMENTAL CANONS OF ENGINEERING ETHICS The vital role of engineers in our world makes their carrier very important. They enhance our lives , the good quality of life; so that engineers should be very honest and must work under standard of profession behavior . Engineers for the integrity with their professional duties should take into account that safety is first for the public. They also has to respect their specialty and respect other engineers communicating with them honorably. For communicating with clients they have to avoid cheating them, acting with them as trustees. On the other hand , the more appropriate is to talk about the professional character of engineer rather than talking about rules and cannons. For the human nature, it is difficult to fol- low rules.Rather,searching for types of persons professionally speaking to promote the public. III. THE GOOD ENGINEER The professional character is a keyword that refer to those characters who serve to define the kind of individual. Good engineers are persons who have these treats enable them to be the best at all.” Professional pride" is the first term in the list of good engineer if engineer like to contribute to public welfare an expertise is needed in the branch of career helping in making the best decision. They have to guarantee that they are at the highest level of competence. Not only in science, mathematics and physics but also the abilities and sensitivities that come with practicing "Practice makes perfect". other trait to be concerned is "social awareness" which is an awareness of how technology affect and effect on society [2] .Engineers should pay attention of "social embeddings" of technology. As, technology are not separated from society. In any cases engineers who makes design decisions that are not socially neutral which requires sensitivities and commitments that can be formulated into rules. For the professional engineer being environmentally conscious. IV. CODES OF ENGINEERING ETHICS Engineering is a very important profession around the globe , as an engineer , it is expected to be very honest ,endowed, fair and must work on protecting public health , safety and welfare .According to [3] Engineers must follow up standards of professional behavior of ethical conduct. For Engineering codes of ethics, concepts and principles are terms or ordinary morality. The code is a result of a group of engineers trying to apply Carrier with ethical conducts. Most of ethical engineering focuses on the responsibilities and performance of the individual engineer . As Engineers work in a team , the behavior of them is very important which gives arise to the role of one in the whole group , the success on the project needs cooperation. For other consideration is the profession society that an engineer belongs to. These societies ,around the history , played an important role for building standards of acceptable designs and practice. For example, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers AMSME had developed standards in boiler industry which has hazards to health and environment which may cause ethical problems. Mainly ethics concentrate on what on not to do instead of what to do which is abbreviated on the acronym "ethics of prohibitions”, so codes of ethics of engineers exemplify this words in terms of specifying
