QUESTION
Ethics
- We read and discussed the article titled “Three Myths about Codes of Engineering Ethics”, by Michael Davis. In that article, Davis presents conflicting scholarly arguments that such codes are simultaneously “too vague” and too restrictive (“hard and fast”). How does Davis suggest that engineers resolve both of these conflicts, and thus make the best use of Codes of Ethics?
- A large spill of flammable liquid occurred in a refinery, leading to a large fire (but no loss of life). Inspection showed that the wrong type of metal was used in one section of pipe. The leak was caused by corrosion, which was caused by a change in the type of liquid being pumped through the pipe. This process change was requested and authorized by Alice, a supervisor who had recently been promoted from a management position in the plant’s accounting department. The actual change in the liquid feedstock was made by a team led by Bob, a recently-hired chemical engineer. Alice told Bob that the new liquid feed was “pretty similar to the old stuff” flowing in the pipe, so no formal safety analysis was done prior to the change. Considering the different types of mistake described in Whitbeck’s article “Basis and Scope of Professional Responsibility”, who (if anyone) should be held responsible for the incident? Why?
