Safety engineering

safely. Many of these factors were disregarded in the design, construction and operation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The engineers who designed the RMBK-1000 were more concerned with cost and the production of more energy and they neglected safety. They violated Ontario’s code of ethics of a professional engineer and in doings so endangered many lives. Chernobyl is seen as one of the…

Priscilla Tial ENGR 482-930 Short Paper 2 Word Count: 925 The first line of NSPE code section II.1.a reads “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.” Engineers should primarily be 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…

be virtues that a good engineer in this area must have as they are needed to deal with the typical problems found in Computer Engineering. Also, a good Computer Engineer must have the moral virtue of courage to overcome any difficulties presented and to confidently present and defend her ideas to others. Specially, if the ideas question the ethically rightfulness or safety of something, a good engineer must have the courage to expose this to others. Another virtue very important is the virtue of…

“Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy (Cohen, 1996).” The field of chemical engineering is very diverse, covering areas from biotechnology to mineral processing. It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical…

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. Therefore, LeMessurier’s actions are crucial to discuss, as his ethical decisions set a good precedent for future scientists who may face difficult dilemmas. The Citicorp Center trusted LeMessurier to…

Our city is located in the scenic region of Hawaii, where the beautiful weather and nice sunsets are located. The climate in our city includes a sunny region, which is from the volcanoes and oceanic surrounding, and mountainous region which is Mauna Kea. What makes the climate favorable is that our climate is always sunny with controlled weather, nice ocean view, also in favor of those mountain climbers who want a vacation at Mauna Kea. What makes the geography favorable in our city is that it…

Ethics Case Study I. Facts The engineers behind Mold Watch, an innovative mold detecting fridge, which utilizes UV lights to prolong the shelf life of food and reduce food waste, decided not to consult a specialist on the dangers of UV lights and instead conducted their own research to determine what frequency of the UV light would best disinfect the food. They knew that prolonged exposure to UV light could cause eye damage, but still decided to use the most potent frequency in order to…

provide my own recommendations for correcting each particular problem. Human Factors and engineering psychologist study how people interact with machines and technology. As I read about human factor designs, the American Psychological Association (2015) informed me that "they use psychological science to guide the design of products, systems and devices we use everyday while often focusing on the performance and safety. The Phycologist apply the science of phycology to improve our interactions…

Introduction I would describe myself as an engineering enthusiast, and have wanted to create things ever since I can remember. While it’s really hard to pin-point exactly why I’ve always wanted to become an engineer. I love the engineers give a purpose to mathematics and science, and use them to create the tools of our world. I want to experience the intellectual challenges engineers face. Engineers are paid well, and encouraged by everyone to solve the biggest problems of today. This report…
