Engineering is a profession that plays a pivotal role in shaping the world we live in today. Engineers design bridges that connect communities, develop life-saving medical devices, and create technologies that drive progress.
However, with such power comes great responsibility, and this is where engineering ethics comes into play. The significance of engineering ethics cannot be overstated, as it serves as the moral compass that guides engineers in their work, ensuring that their innovations benefit society while minimizing harm.
Engineering ethics is founded on a set of principles that govern the behavior and decision-making of engineers. These principles include honesty, integrity, accountability, and transparency. Engineers are not only responsible for the technical aspects of their work but also for considering the broader implications of their creations on society, the environment, and future generations.
This module aims at equipping the learner with skills, knowledge and attitudes required to apply engineering ethics that facilitate effective learning at the workplace.
After completion of this module, learner will be able to
(i) Describe ethics concept,
(ii) Apply engineering ethics
(iii) Apply professional policy, laws and regulations as well.
