Outline of Material Everyday Ethical Issues = Micro-ethics Macro-ethics (systemic issues) Micro-ethics (the individual and the situation) Corporate Ethical Climate Corporate Policies Industry Practices Government Oversight vs. “The Market” NSPE Board of Ethical Review (BER) Activity: Facing micro-ethical issues

Macro-Ethical Issues Safety, Loss of Life, Catastrophic Failures Typically “Newsworthy” Items The Space Shuttle Challenger Bhopal—Union Carbide The Ford Pinto Firestone and Ford Explorer tires Three Mile Island / Chernobyl Nuclear Reactors Kansas City Hyatt Hotel (suspended walkway) The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Indicative of systemic problems (beyond simple engineering and day-to-day ethics)

Micro-Ethical Issues Categories: Corporate Commitment / Loyalty Confidentiality (with company, to clients) Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Technical vs. Moral Errors Example: 1999 NASA Mars Climate Orbiter Mission Failure Bribes, Gifts, Kickbacks Intellectual Property: Trade Secrets, Copyrights, and Patents

Micro-Ethical Issues Categories (continued): Data Integrity and Reporting Computer Data and Security Anonymity in Corporations Risk-Assessment / Risk Management In the Design Phase During the Testing Phase (Test Protocol and Specs) After product release Whistle-blowing Authority, Teams and the Individual Engineer Situational Factors that govern reasoning and behavior

Micro-ethics Case Studies Goals of Exercise To introduce everyday ethical issues you may face To facilitate a forum for discussion Process Project Team Read and Discuss the Scenario Propose a set of Actions (behaviors) Propose an action through the lens of each of the three levels of McCuen’s Six Dimensions of Professional Ethics.
