Engineering firms need to raise awareness about the importance of ethics in the workplace and provide employees with knowledge so that they may make ethical decisions, rather than just showing employees a company policy or regulation. The game, which relies on Dilbert and his comic-strip colleagues, balances the serious side of the ethics discussion with a little humor. The training is updated annually to reflect new issues. This was achieved by a major commitment from top management to change the way their employees thought about ethics in the workplace. As members of this profession, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people.
Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct. The code is divided into six fundamental canons, and more detailed rules of practice. The fundamental canons describe, in general, the ideals of the profession. Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public.
