DO ENGINEERS NEED ETHICS? Ethics are moral principles that govern a person’s behaviour or the conducting of an activity. Charles Fleddermann describes engineering ethics as “a body of philosophy indicating the way engineers should conduct themselves in their professional capacity.”[1]. Ethics and morals work in tandem in the engineering workplace which contributes to order harmony and expectations. Ethics can also be viewed as values. Values are embedded in our characters and last longer and are
building, house, road, or project that they do. The experience at Steel Asia Manufacturing Corporation exposed me to the steel manufacturing industry. The said field trip was not only very educational; is also filled with fun. As a future chemical engineer of the society, I explored one prospect field that I can venture on through the plant tour that we had. The group went to the site by 2:00 pm. Before entering the site, we are all required to wear a hard hat as a safety precaution to protect us
At one point in Player Piano, the protagonist Paul Proteus imagines abandoning his life as a member of his society’s elite class of engineers and managers in favor of an agrarian profession: “Farming - now there was a magic word. Like so many words with a little magic from the past still clinging to them, the word ‘farming’ was a reminder of what rugged stock the present generation had
to great heights, but these virtues, when rooted in strong moral values can take you to even greater heights, heights that one would think impossible to attain. This is the moral code that my family and I firmly believe in and we as a family live by this code. Of all the hobbies that I have, I love Photography the best. The ground on which I choose photography as my favourite hobby is owing to the fact that it enables me to seize the best moments of my life. To get good shots, one needs to have a

Abstract Composite material is a technique in which more than one material is combined to produce a single material in which the properties of individual material is synchronized into single material with higher quality properties. In this investigation the reinforcement effect of Kevlar fabric on the mechanical properties of epoxy resin are studied. The epoxy resin used in the current investigation is Bisphenol A. The mechanical properties studied are tensile strength, bending strength and compressive
There are five processes on which no human being has control and which none can ever change. These are the process of growing old, of falling sick, of dying, of decay of things that are perishable and of the passing away of that which is liable to pass. From a scientific point of view this is true. We know cell divisions take place in each living being continuously. Old cells in our bodies die and yield place continuously to the new ones that are forming. Like the waves in a sea, every moment, many
metamorphosis in technology and construction. One of the consequences of such advancements isthe introduction of gasoline additives to the final production of gasoline forms. This very important step in liquid fuel engineering was welcomed at first by virtue of the many benefits that it posed to automobile users and manufacturers. Such benefits were a function of the chemical actions of the organic or synthetic additives on the overall performance of gasoline. An additive could function as a fuel stabilizer
