    Problem 9.

    2b Engineering Ethics
    Ethics is a complex word. When you hear it used, sometimes you are not really sure
    what it means. The word is often used in several different ways. Ethics is generally
    defined as the study of morals, which is the study of what is right and wrong or
    beneficial or harmful to others. In the field of engineering and science, ethics is a very
    important concept that is considered in the daily workings of engineers and scientists.
    The codes of professional engineers and scientists vary widely within different
    professional societies. Many professional societies maintain a set of codes, such as the
    American Institute of Chemists, the American Mathematical Society, the Association of
    Computer Machinery, and the American Council of Engineering Companies.

    These codes of conduct or ethical guidelines are used to govern the practices of the
    engineers, engineering technicians, scientists, and mathematicians. Sometimes the
    codes are extensive and may even result in persons losing their advanced degree if
    they are found to plagiarize work. You may be surprised to learn that there is also a set
    of codes for student organizations that includes a Hippocratic Oath for scientists,
    engineers, and executives.

    This problem is designed to enable you to learn more about engineering design ethics
    and how ethics should play a role in the work of engineers and scientists.

    Choose from the following real or fictional situations to complete the assignment:

    Template
    Client: Jurassic World
    Designer: Henry Wu

    Problem
    People are bored of of the standard dinos now. Park attendance has
    Statement:
    slowly been dropping and we require a new attraction in the park.

    Design
    With the select dinosaurs and animals we have, create a hybrid dino
    Statement:
    Which is safe enough to be displayed to the park guests but also
    Dangerous enough to gain traction as a popular attraction.

    Constraints
    1. Limited number of dinosaurs to choose from.
    :
    2. Near-unlimited budget.
    3. Do not create anything that will get the park shut down.
    4.

    Deliverables 1. Documentation
    : 2. Engineering Notebook

    Conclusion
    1. What are ethics?

    Ethics are generally widely accepted norms that relate to how people should do certain
    things. In other words, it can be sometimes per person principles that dictate their
    behavior and activities.

    2. What actions are considered cheating?


    Plagiarism, lack of citation, using anothers ideas without permission such as a patent.

    3. What are your rights and responsibilities as a potential engineer?


    I have the right to have my creations be protected and I have the responsibility to
    respect that right of other engineers.
