    Study Notes

    Engineering Ethics

    • Engineers must prioritize public safety, health, and well-being.
    • Services should be performed only within the engineer's area of competence.
    • Public statements must be objective and truthful.
    • Engineers should act as faithful agents or trustees for their employers.
    • Deceptive actions should be avoided.
    • Engineers should conduct themselves professionally, ethically, and lawfully.

    Professional Conduct

    • Honesty and integrity are paramount in all professional relations.
    • Engineers should serve the public interest.
    • Deceiving the public should be avoided.
    • Confidential information regarding a client or employer's business should not be disclosed without consent.
    • Violations of professional standards can result in financial and legal consequences.

    Engineering Policy

    • The Calvin AHIP policy ensures academic honesty and integrity.
    • The National Society of Professional Engineers code of ethics provides guidance.

    Ethical Decision-Making Steps

    • Define the problem.
    • Examine the facts.
    • Identify relevant factors.
    • Develop potential solutions.
    • Evaluate the options (harm, public perception, defensibility, reversibility, colleague impact, organizational impact).
    • Choose the best solution.
    • Reflect on the decision-making process.

    Engineering Design Concepts

    • Design norms promote justice, caring relationships, cultural appropriateness, and trust in engineering designs.
    • Designs should be accessible and harmonious.
    • Stewardship of resources and the environment should be part of the design process.
    • Engineering designs incorporate value-laden aspects.

    Design Process

    • EDP (Engineering Design Process) involves refining designs through iterative steps, with a focus on achieving specifications.
    • Iterative analysis leads to preliminary designs.
    • Identify design problems, context, user needs, data collection.
    • Create and evaluate possible designs.
    • Select the best designs and implement them.

    Brainstorming and Evaluation

    • Brainstorming is a powerful creative technique used to generate many ideas.
    • 80% of the impact often comes from 20% of the inputs.
    • Thorough design review is crucial at different stages to ensure milestones are met, team dynamics are positive, and any technical flaws are identified early.

    Engineering as a Profession

    • Various engineering disciplines exist within the umbrella of engineering.
    • Many societies exist to promote each specialty of Engineering.
    • This includes, but is not limited to Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Energy, Environment, and Sustainability.

    Engineering Skills

    • Project management, intellectual property, and other necessary engineering skills should be developed for successful engineering practice.

    Sustainability, Environment and LCA

    • Life cycle assessment (LCA) quantifies environmental impacts of products or processes.
    • The factors involved in LCA include goal and scope, life cycle inventory, impact assessment, and interpretation.
    • LCA helps determine the sustainability of engineering work, focusing on raw materials, processing, transportation, retail, and waste aspects to ensure environmental responsibility and minimizing the negative impact.
