What constitutes ethical behavior on the part of engineers? What happens when engineers--and the companies for which they work--fail to act ethically?"Controlling Technology Ethics and the Responsible Engineer, Third Edition," examines the conflicts faced by the engineers constructing the technological landscape in which we all now live, and offers practical, proven advice on what to do when conflicts arise between commerce and the common good. Revised and expanded, the Third Edition examines the causes and consequences of technological disasters such as: The chemical accident that devastated Bhopal, India The Chernobyl nuclear accident, in what was then Soviet Ukraine The loss of the space shuttle ChallengerAnd, the precursor to them all: The destruction of The Titanic, "The ship God Himself could not sink," lost on her maiden voyage. It describes, as well, such highly successful projects as the construction of the Panama Canal and the Shinkansen--Japan's "Bullet Train." All the major areas of engineering are covered with case studies describing the exemplary behavior of engineers placed in difficult situations: fights that were won; fights that were lost. The ways in which ethical engineers can be supported, by professional societies and by the law, is also explored in depth. "Controlling Technology: Ethics and the Responsible Engineer, Third Edition" is a practical and fascinating examination of the moral obligations, responsibilities, and challenges faced by engineers as they perform their professional duties. It is, as well, invaluable guide--and a MUST read, for: Engineers; For engineering students, both graduate and undergraduate; For anyone interested in or concerned about the ways in which the technologies that are so intimately woven into our lives are (and are not) under appropriate control.Whether we pay attention to this or not, day by day, more and more, technology dictates: what we do; how we do it; what is or is not possible. The danger in not attending to how technologies are both designed and utilized--to whether or not those uses are ethical or not--to what governing principles control them, is incalculable. Guidance in this area is crucial, both to engineers and to "civilians." "Controlling Technology" elucidates the ethical component of a landscape which is key to people understanding how technologies can--and should--be subjected to reasonable scrutiny and control, for the benefit of all.

Technology and Ethics. A European Quest for Responsible Engineering, edited by B. Heriard Dubreuil and his team (University Lille) is in many regards an innovative publication. It is the first fully European contribution to the field of engineering ethics and the result of an intensive cooperation between ethicists and engineers from all the member countries of the European Union. The basic structure of the book is both the distinction and interaction between three levels of analysis: personal responsibility of engineers, the institutional level (business organisations) and the impact of technology on society and culture. On the personal level, the book deals with problems such as the role of professional codes and the fact that engineers must cope with flexibility, shorter lines of decision and erosion of the boundaries between private and professional life. On the meso level, the book deals with different aspects of decision making in the context of business organizations, such as quality management, technology assessment procedures, business ethics committees etc... On the macro level, the authors focus on the power of technology. Together with the influences from other social, economic and political actors, the decisions of engineers change the world in a way which is of moral significance.

The notion of technological power is fast becoming an object of both academic and policy discourses. Within such discourses one can observe several different senses of power being employed, especially when viewed from a multi-disciplinary angle. This demonstrates the need for the creation of a cross-disciplinary and integrative framework for identifying and clarifying different conceptions of the relations between technology and power. In this respect, the book aims to offer an empirically-informed philosophical framework for understanding the technological construction of power, which allows for a differentiated vocabulary for describing various senses of technological power, while bridging together social and political theory, critical studies of technology, philosophy and ethics of technology. In addition, the framework presented in this book aims to contribute to better critical and ethical evaluation of technologies and their powers. Any adequate ethics or critique of technology must be based on a better, clearer, and more nuanced and differentiated understanding of the many ways in which technology can be described as ‘powerful’.

This is a pioneering work. Recent disasters such as the tsunami disaster continue to demonstrate Professor Allinson’s thesis that valuing human lives is the core of ethical management. His unique comparison of the ideas of the power of Fate and High Technology, his penetrating analysis of the very concept of an "accident", demonstrate how concepts rule our lives. His wide-ranging investigation of court cases and government documents from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries, and from places as diverse as the USA, UK and New Zealand provide ample supporting evidence for the universality and the power of explanation of his thesis. Saving Human Lives will have an impact beyond measurement on the field of management ethics.

The aim of this book is to generate a strong operational ethic in the work of engineers from all disciplines. It provides numerous examples of engineers who sought to meet the highest ethical standards, risking both professional and personal retaliations. In short, it presents the fields of engineering ethics in the context of actual conflict situations on the job, and points to an urgent need for a strong ethical framework for the profession. This book is about engineering students and practitioners truly understanding, valuing, and championing their wider critical role. Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate and champion of engineers, wrote the preface. Presents various viewpoints which hail from a wide variety of disciplines in the engineering, science, and technology communities. Includes a mix of historical and contemporary examples, a list of relevant television series and documentaries for engineers, as well as links to informative websites for practicing engineers and engineering students. Examines engineering professionalism as related to the imperative of sustainable development. Provides numerous examples of corporate whistleblowing and ethical dilemmas in engineering.

Exploring key ethical concerns in the engineering industry, this 2nd edition of Ethics Within Engineering is fully revised and updated to educate a new generation of engineers in ethical decision-making. By focusing on critical issues concerning tracking harm, contract work, and collective action, Wade L. Robison provides educational tools and solutions that match the complexity of the engineering landscape today. Two new chapters on the responsibility of the engineer and the ethical issues that arise when teams work together to solve design problems, together with new material on tracking harms in the design process, provide a fuller comprehension of risk and harm in engineering. Robison further enhances this new edition with contemporary examples that highlight the enduring necessity of ethics to engineering. These range from the Boeing 737-MAX to General Motors' controversial 20-gallon fuel tanks. Using real life examples that bring the theory to life, this student-led textbook encourages students to present, challenge, and work through different engineering problems and solutions with confidence and a strong evidence-based approach. Consistent with the 1st edition's emphasis on the original design problem which drives ethical questions in engineering, this new edition positions the nascent engineer as its focus for driving positive change in practice, design, and delivery.

Challenging long-held theories of scientific rationality and remoteness, Kristin Shrader-Frechette argues that research cannot be 'value free.' Rather, any research will raise important moral issues for those involved, issues not only of truthfulness but of risk to research subjects, third parties, and the general public.
