The following resources were invaluable in preparing this module
Elena Lugo,
Etica Profesional Para La Ingeniera, , Mayaguez, PR: Liberia Universal, Inc., 1985. The first book on engineering ethics written in Spanish, it deserves the excellent review it received in Business and Professional Ethics in 1995.
Wilfredo Munoz-Roman,
Etica en la Practica Profesional de la Ingenieria: Aspectos Filosoficos, Historicos y Procesales, San Juan, PR: Universidad Politecnica de Puerto Rico, 1998. This book sponsored by the CIAPR forms the basis of the slides outlining the institutionalization of engineering in Puerto Rico by the Colegio de Intenieros de Puerto Rico.
Carl Mitcham and Marcos Garcia de la Huerta,
La Etica En La Profesion De Ingeniero , Universidad de Chile: Departamento de Estudios Humanisticos, Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas y Matematicas, 2001.
Stephen H. Unger,
Controlling Technology: Ethics and the Responsible Engineer, 2nd Edition , New York: John Wiley and Sons, INC., 1994, 220-239. Unger discusses the positive role professional societies can play in supporting ethical engineers. Chapter 7 (220-239) provides helpful hints to those who would ethically dissent. This advice can also be found at onlineethics.org.
Charles Harris, Michael Pritchard, and Michael Rabins,
Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases, 3rd Edition , US: Thompson, 2005. An excellent and widely used textbook in engineering. It's cases have been developed and refined through several NSF-funded case developing initiatives.
Michael Davis,
Thinking Like an Engineer: Studies in the Ethics of a Profession , UK: Oxford University Press, 1998. In addition to providing an excellent historical background to engineering ethics, this book contains invaluable discussions of codes of ethics, wrongdoing in engineering, and a summary of a study looking at the organizational contexts in which engineerins practice.
Jimmy Smith and Patricia Harper, editors,
Engineering Ethics: Concepts, Viewpoints, Cases and Codes , Texas Tech University and Murdough Center for engineering Professionalism: National Institute for Engineering Ethics, 2004. This excellent resource, written by and for engineers, contains the NSPE BER decisions on key cases.
Samuel C. Florman,
The Existential Pleasures of Engineering , New York: St Martin's Press, 1976. Florman defends engineering against the "antitechnologists." But he also writes from the experience of a practicing engineer on joys brought about by the the pursuit of excellence in engineering. Florman is engineering's most eloquent spokesperson.
For invaluable information on codes of ethics, their functions, and the results they bring about, consult the following:
Kenneth Kipnis, "Engineers Who Kill: Professional Ethics and the Paramountcy of Public Safety," in
Business and Professional Ethics , 1(1), Fall 1981: 77-91.
John Kultgen, "The Ideological Use of Professiuonal Codes," in
Business and Professional Ethics> , 1(3): 53-69. Kultgen reveals a disparity between the meanings professional codes convey to membership versus those conveyed to outsiders. He identifies four myths that codes can fall into: independence, altruism, peer review, and wisdom. Must reading for those who would identify pitfalls of professionalism and professional codes.
Lynn Sharp Paine, "Managing for Organizational Integrity" in
Harvard Business Review , March-April 1994: 106-117. This seminal article contrasts integrity-based and compliance strategies for implementing ethical management. The focus is business ethics but her argument is highly relevant for engineers and surveyors working in organizational contexts.
Gary Weaver and Linda Klebe Trevino, "Compliance and Values Oriented Ethics Programs: Influences on Employees' Attitudes and Behavior," in
Business Ethics Quarterly , 9(2): 315-335.
John Ladd, "The Quest for a Code of Professional Ethics: An Intellectual and Moral Confusion," in
Ethical Issues in Engineering, edited by Deborah G. Johnson, Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1991: 130-136.
This presentation was given before the CIAPR, OEG, and the UPRM CEP organizations on November 15, 2007.
Ciapr presentation on professional ethics

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
