    WHAT IS THE USE OF

    CODE OF ETHICS IN

    OUR PROFESSIONS

    AS CIVIL ENGINEER

    WHAT IS THE USE OF CODE OF ETHICS IN

    OUR PROFESSIONS AS CIVIL ENGINEER


    To put it simply, engineers live by a code of

    ethics. A company's or organization's code

    of ethics serves the same purpose as a

    declaration of values. In this instance, it

    lays forth the fundamental guidelines that

    engineers follow to protect and maintain

    safe working environments for both

    engineers and the general public.
