Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases

I am so glad I chose this text for my capstone course teaching. Ten chapters and 45 cases ranging from simple to the complex; from the irritating to the horrible. Highly readable, and extensive in providing the context for many of the issues posed. Far more than trivial mention of many legal, cultural, situational issues and making quite clear the many dilemmas and unresolved issues that characterize real life and real work. Congratulations authors - a worthy tribute to the passing of author Rabins. Every organization should have policy established on these issues. So well organized and indexed that it could be a handbook.

The item it's brand new and I have the pleasure make it my own and use for reference in my future career.

This book is designed for engineers, but the book can apply to more than an engineer. I have taken an ethics course from two of the authors of this book. The cases presented in this book apply to real world situations(some altered slightly), not just some clearly fictional situations. There are many fundamental tools that help you determine the type of situation you are dealing with -- ex. moral, factual, conceptual. Afer the problem is determined there are tools to help you make decisions, such as creative middle ways. The author does not make you adhere to their ethics, but a general ethical standard. Overall, this book provides very good ways to determine and solve issues; case studies are also provided to give you an opportunity to "test" yourself.

This book is readable and yet comprehensive. It covers the key issues in a way that engages the reader - usually starting with a case and illustrating key points throughout with reference to cases and other "real world" matters. The accompanying CD has lots of additional cases as well as codes and other reference material.

Great cases and studies exemplifying ethics in engineering.
