A Question of Ethics

In April 2005, ASCE introduced a new column, titled “A Question of Ethics.” Published in ASCE News from 2005 to 2010, and in each issue of Civil Engineering magazine since 2011, this column presents and discusses ethical cases considered by the ASCE Committee on Professional Conduct or ethical issues affecting the profession.

This page provides links to the full archive of past columns, listed in chronological order as well as by the featured subject matter and ethical canon.

Keeping Information Confidential

In 2003 the National Institute for Engineering Ethics developed a video entitled Incident at Morales. Supported by funding from the National Science Foundation and contributions from numerous engineering societies and professionals, the video and the instructional materials that accompany it are designed to facilitate discussions on a number of challenging ethical issues. While the particular case study involves a chemical engineer, the ethical challenges detailed in the video are applicable to engineers in all areas of practice. This month we highlight one of the many ethical issues depicted in Incident at Morales.
