Ethics for Engineers & Contractors
Engineers and Contractors are confronted with a variety of ethical situations every day.

A review of strengths and weaknesses of ethical codes as well as state and federal laws will be discussed. Case studies in engineering ethics will be discussed as well as the steps needed to make an ethical decision.
