- Online Ethics is an excellent resource for cases and essays in engineering ethics.
It also provides links to other sites such as the Center for Engineering Ethics and Society,a branch of the National Academy of Engineering.
- Computing Cases highlights three large case studies in computer and engineering ethics:Therac-25, Hughes Aircraft, and Machado. Clicking on the link provided above provides access
to the IEEE material on organizational and professional dissent.- The National Institute of Engineering Ethics website can be access through the final
link. It provides study materials on the videos Incident at Morales and Gilbane Gold.It also contains the ethics cases developed by the National Society for Professional
Engineer's Board of Ethical Review. Here, the BER publishes its decisions on casesbrought to it by members as a means of interpreting and clarifying the NSPE code of ethics.
- Other materials on engineering ethics can be accessed through these three linksmentioned above. This module expands upon a presentation given to capstone classes in engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Designed by Luis Jimenez to provide students with an introduction to ethical approaches in the context of engineering, it has expanded to cover practical skills in problem solving and the professional context of engineering in Puerto Rico. For those interested in ABET accreditation and reaccreditation, it touches on the themes of (1) professional and ethical responsibility, (2) integrating ethics into design projects, and (3) generating awareness of the social and global impacts of engineering. Students and faculty consulting this module will find the capstone course presentation, background information pertinent to engineering ethics in Puerto Rico, and exercises that help students develop an active and practical understanding of how ethics fits into engineering practice.
