Pursuant to the Society’s Bylaws, it is the duty of every Society member to report promptly to the Committee on Professional Conduct any observed violation of the Co de of Ethics. 2In April 1975, the ASCE Board of Direction adopted the fundamental principles of the Code of Ethics of Engineers as accepted by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). 3In October 2009, the ASCE Board of Directi on adopted the following definition of Sustainable Development: “Sustainable Development is the process of applying natural, human, and economic resources to enhance the safety, welfare, and quality of life for all of the society while maintaining the avai lability of the remaining natural resources.”
