Professional responsibility: The role of the engineer in society.Steven P. Nichols - 1997 - Science and Engineering Ethics 3 (3):327-337.details We argue that the practice of engineering does not exist outside the domain of societal interests. That is, the practice of engineering has an inherent (and unavoidable) impact on society. Engineering is based upon that relationship with society (inter alia).

An approach to integrating “professional responsibility” in engineering into the capstone design experience.Steven P. Nichols - 2000 - Science and Engineering Ethics 6 (3):399-412.details ABET 2000 Criteria encourages development of proficiency in professional responsibility in engineering as part of the undergraduate curriculum. This paper discusses the use of industrially sponsored capstone design projects to encourage active discussion of professional responsibility in engineering that naturally occurs during the engineering design process. The paper also discusses student participation in designing responses and approaches to issues such as engineering ethics. The paper includes specific examples of topics addressed by students and the approaches developed (by students) in addressing (...) these issues. (shrink) Download Export citation Bookmark
