Decision engineering

engineer William LeMessurier’s decisions regarding the Citicorp building’s repair display his strong morals and provide an excellent example of the actions that should be taken to prevent a possible catastrophe. Once he discovered an issue with the building he designed, he persisted to conduct more research, inform the companies and people involved, and support the reconstruction of the issues found in order to protect the safety of the public and the integrity of his engineering career.…

concerned with the safety and welfare of the public. Virtue ethics states that a person should make choices that reinforce good character and strive to become a virtuous person because people of good character will ultimately be people who make good decisions. A virtue ethics perspective would endorse the above statement, as engineers of good moral character should always be concerned with the welfare of the public whom they are serving. Aristotle’s virtues approach was that a virtuous person…

I believe many gateways can be opened with the solution to this main problem: How do we successfully reverse engineer the human brain? This is our core processing center, where all human function and ability occurs from. If we can reverse engineer it that means there will be a complete knowledge on how to translate that fact to better understanding different aspects of life and our actions. Have you ever wanted to know how a personality develops or what happens to the body on a microscopic level…

Racing Team and I am interested in joining one. Joining a smaller design team would give me larger responsibilities and I would learn more here at the university of waterloo. I would be responsible for designing certain components and actually apply engineering. My third goal is for my personal well-being and it is to enforce physical activity in my weekly routine. Like I mentioned, in high school I was very active and had the time to participate in teams and clubs, but I have been very busy in…

the intensity of the UV light that was safe to view without proper eye protection in case the system malfunctioned and the lights didn’t shut off once the fridge door was open (Section III.2.b). Finally, the engineer who was concerned about this decision should have spoken up and brought up the concerns to the manager and if the manager did not listen then went to higher authorities (such as the company’s hotline) ((Section…

Systems Engineering for four years back in Russia and just recently graduated in Finance and Investments from Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business they are pleasantly astonished. Nevertheless, people are not too far from the truth. Growing up, I have always been on a creative side. I have entered school competitions for creative/art boards or hand made holiday cards for my friends and family. But my natural analytical skills and a strong interest in math made me pursue engineering degree.…

VOLKSWAGEN: Engineering Fraud for Favorable Fallout Codes of ethics provide the moral responsibilities of an engineer’s duty as seen by the relative profession and as a representation of the professional society. These codes are extremely 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,…

study that evaluates the action of the Nazi’s Engineer during the Auschwitz regime. His main purpose is to educate future engineers to be careful about ethics, humanity, and morality. Katz argues that the Nazi’s Engineer was lacking the basic of engineering ethics. The Nazi’s Engineer would just follow…

passions of helping people and learning about those particular subjects. I stumbled upon biomedical engineering and with more research and exploration found it to be a potential profession and I hope to study it in college. This is a plan because I could change my mind on my career choice, but my choice to continue my education is firm. If I don 't get accepted to a college that offers biomedical engineering, I fully intend on studying majors that still involve science and math. I chose…

VIPS Reflection Values: After completing the values assessment, I was not surprised by my results, but I was happy to solidify some of my values. My top five values indicated by the assessment include: commitment/work ethic, leadership, high achievement, independence, and service & altruism.

I have never accomplished something based on pure talent, which has allowed me to…
