Engineering Disasters One of the most famous engineers was Thomas Edison who famously stated that “ [he had] not failed, [he had discovered] 10,000 ways that did not work”. Despite Edison’s numerous failures, he eventually perfected his version of the light bulb, got it patented and proceeded to make his invention available to consumers. Edison’s approach illustrates the engineer’s ideal process, as he repeatedly tests and perfects the design of the desired result before releasing the result to…

Being an engineer is not an easy thing to reach in the life. It requires a lot of work, study and responsibility. There are many examples of successful engineers in our life. Those engineers are different from the other engineers not only because they are professional, but also the have other skills or features that makes them different than the other. An example of those great engineers is professor Henry Petroski. He is a professor in civil engineering, but also he is an author who uses his…

Q1: Why do engineers follow a code of ethics? (~ 150 Words) It is crucial for engineers to follow a code of ethics in order to manage and maintain the their behaviour towards their profession, employer, employee, society and clients. Engineers follow a code of ethics because it provides them a precise definition of what they are required to do as an engineer in their profession. In addition, it gives them a clear outline of their responsibilities in terms of how they are expected to behave and…

Why I am a good fit for industrial maintenance is because I enjoy fixing machines and working with my hands, I also believe that industrial mechanics make a sensible median wage, and because being an industrial maintenance worker is a way I can enjoy my job. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed fixing things this career path is a perfect way for me to continue doing something I like by fixing machines. Industrial maintenance fits my lifestyle, and how I enjoy working on machines and figuring…

important because they keep responsibility within the perimeter or good morals and reveal the importance of the engineers’ responsibility when working on projects considering they can consequently directly and indirectly effect the engineers themselves, clients, firms, communities, and most importantly, human life itself. There are eight essential roles that these codes of ethics for engineers fulfill – they are: serving and protecting the public, providing guidance, offering inspiration,…

Then I questioned him about the equality to opportunity and other lessons he taught me as a kid. He said being a civil engineers he has seen all the corners of the field and he feels woman are not as capable to work on field as men. He was not questioning my intelligence, he was just trying to say that women are not physically as strong as men and the jobs in the field of…

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or ASME, provides a code of ethics for mechanical engineers. This code can be analyzed and dissected to locate potential weaknesses and key statements within its framework while presenting possible improvements to fill any gaps. One potential weakness within the code relates to the definitions to various terms. These terms hold a great deal of subjectivity, which can muddy the overall effect of the canon. For example, the phrase, “enhancement of…

will take humanity far beyond in to the stars. To design, innovate and advance technological solutions for the world is the modern engineer’s purpose in life. Engineering consists of four chief branches, civil engineering, electrical engineering; chemical engineering and mechanical engineering (Engineering, 2014). This paper will cover three of the four engineering fields. Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity and electromagnetism. This field emerged in the 19th…

building, object and machine that we use every day has been designed and built by engineers. Therefore the ethics and values of engineers have an important impact on society. There are many engineering challenges today. It was identified by the national science foundation that there are fourteen main engineering challenges. The challenge which is the focus of this report is access to clean water. We would expect that engineers perform to the best of their ability and use their skills to improve…

Engineers have to deal with increasing responsibilities as technology is each day more involved in our daily lives. Hence, it is important that engineers are able to make the correct decisions on which is the right way to act. Engineers can base themselves in the several norms and rules that are outlined by their professional organizations. However, there is a finite amount of things that can be stated as rules. For this reason, and as the Good Engineer reading proposes, it is important that…
