Some have to do with technical practice, but many others have to do with broader considerations of business conduct. These include: Relationships with clients, consultants, competitors, and contractors Ensuring legal compliance by clients, client’s contractors, and others Conflict of interest Bribery and kickbacks, which also may include Gifts, meals, services, and entertainment Treatment of confidential or proprietary information Consideration of the employer’s assets Outside employment /activities (Moonlighting) Some engineering societies are addressing environmental protection as a stand-alone question of ethics. The field of business ethics often overlaps and informs ethical decision making for engineers. Case studies and key individuals A researcher in the field notes that most engineering failures are much more involved than simple technical miscalculations and involve the failure of the design process or management culture. However, not all engineering failures involve ethical issues. The infamous collapse of the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and the losses of the Mars Polar Lander and Mars Climate Orbiter were technical and design process failures. The episodes of engineering failure include ethical as well as technical issues. Space shuttle Columbia disaster (2003) Space shuttle challenger disaster (1986) Therac-25 accidents (1985 to 1987) Chernobyl disaster (1986) Bhopal disaster (1984) Kansas city Hyatt regency walkway collapse (1981) Love canal (1980), Lois Gibbs Three mile island accident (1979) Citigroup Center (1978), William Le Messurier Ford Pinto safety problems (1970s) Minamata discase (1908-1973) Chevrolet Corvair safety problems (1960s), Ralph Nader, and Unsafe at any speed Boston molasses disaster (1919) Quebec Bridge collapse (1907), Theodore Cooper Johnstown Flood (1889), South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club Tay Bridge Disaster (1879), Thomas Bouch, William Henry Barlow, and William Yolland Ashtabula River Railroad Disaster (1876), Amasa Stone We hope the continuous titles on engineering ethics have helped professionals in the engineering field to gain some basic information about the principles of engineering ethics. “ESME Has to Be Selective” Ato Zewde Gebresesassie Our Guest for this issue is Ato Zewde Ato Zewde:- It might not be clear to outsiders Gebreselassie Mezgebo. Born on 5 April in how wind farm activities require the expertise 1968 in Tigray Hawzien, Ato Zewde is a of a mechanical engineer. In reality, unless Mechanical Engineer who graduated from there is a synchronized work-plan of Addis Ababa University in 1997.

In other countries, which I and electro-mechanical works. had the opportunity to visit, the electric company’s ESME Focus had a short stay with Ato role is to sell power but not to do the mechanical Zewde. work. Excerpts: ESME Focus:- What do you suggest then to ESME Focus:- As a Mechanical Engineer, expand the mechanical engineering work by especially as a professional in wind energy, transferring technology especially that of the wind what is the contribution of mechanical turbine for such power like the wind farm project engineering in establishing a wind farm like at Adama? the one being carried in the outskirts of Adama Town? Ato Zewde:- I think importing the technology So, instead of outsourcing the bid to foreign and transferring the knowledge is very much companies, it would be advisable to encourage essential. If there is a way to manufacture the companies or universities which have the wind turbine for instance, we can gain a lot in fertile ground to manufacture here locally. saving the expense by minimizing the cost and ESME Focus:- Anything to add? we can get the know-how to master the work through knowledge transfer. For example, if we Ato Zewde:- In my opinion, ESME has to be start manufacturing here, I am sure the Blade, selective.

There should be a lot of promotion work as work done on high technology is effective. A good example could be Makelle University who is ESME, teaching as well as training students. There are currently about 18 students at masters level in Your Home to mechanical engineering. Each student has a certain budget in US dollars. Moreover, four Upgrade wind masts have been manufactured locally and Your Career in the installed around Makelle. Makelle University is collecting and analyzing wind data. This is a Field good input to the country. So, this kind of opportunity has to be created everywhere.

  • Other Civil Engineering Applications
    OTHER CIVIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS The use of iron in foundations Introduction Once cast iron had been established as a useful and practical structural material in the late eighteenth century, it was only going to be a question of time before an enterprising ironmaster, engineer or architect considered its application for substructures. Timber piles and platforms in combination with masonry were the traditional foundation materials, although other expedients such as rammed chalk and fascines had been employed, and in the early nineteenth century concrete began to be used . (Chrimes, 1996; Kerisel, 1956; 1985). Iron itself had been used for specialist applications such as rock foundations (below) and for pile shoes. The application of iron to foundations was a specialist area and even when iron was employed in superstructures, whether bridges, iron frames or roofs, its performance was generally governed by that of substructures built using traditional methods and materials. While the Leaning Tower of Pisa provides an enduring monument to the foundation problems faced by past generations, and towers in Bologna show similar signs of distress, others towers having collapsed completely, mediaeval and renaissance master builders were capable of erecting enduring structures on a scale not regularly surpassed before the twentieth century. The gothic cathedral is perhaps the most spectacular example, but in northern Italy and the Low Countries large civic buildings were erected, while military engineers designed successive generations of fortifications. More the province of the civil engineer were the hydraulic structures erected on the rivers and canals of the Netherlands and Lombardy from the fourteenth century onwards, using timber for bearing and sheet piles, lock walls, gates and floors, in combination with masonry and (pozzolanic) mortars.

  • Engineering Ethics
    Engineering ethics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Engineering ethics is the field of applied ethics and system of moral principles that apply to the practice of engineering. The field examines and sets the obligations by engineers to society, to their clients, and to the profession. As a scholarly discipline, it is closely related to subjects such as the philosophy of science, the philosophy of engineering, and the ethics of technology. Contents [hide] 1 Background and origins o 1.1 The 19th century and growing concern o 1.2 Turning of the 20th century and turning point o 1.3 Recent developments 2 General principles o 2.1 Obligation to society o 2.2 Whistleblowing o 2.3 Conduct 3 Case studies and key individuals 4 Notes 5 References 6 Further reading 7 External links o 7.1 Australia o 7.2 Canada o 7.3 Germany o 7.4 United Kingdom o 7.5 United States o 7.6 International Background and origins[edit] The 19th century and growing concern[edit] The first Tay Bridge collapsed in 1879. At least sixty were killed. As engineering rose as a distinct profession during the 19th century, engineers saw themselves as either independent professional practitioners or technical employees of large enterprises. There was considerable tension between the two sides as large industrial employers fought to maintain control of their employees.[1] In the United States growing professionalism gave rise to the development of four founding engineering societies: The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (1851), the American
