The below scenarios are ethical delimas that you may face as a student. As with the technical and political scenarios presented previosuly, these scenarios are loosely based on fact. The hyper-links provided for each scenario point to relevant political or technical engineering scenarios.
Links also point to a comparison table of the student scenario and the engineering scenario.
The purpose of presenting student scenarios in this exercise is to help illustrate how easy it is for one to find themselves caught up in a situation that can suddenly explode to a full scale ethical delima. You are now a senior civil engineering student majoring in structural analysis. In a student project, you determined that the construction of this bonfire may result in death or injury to students unless they follow the correct procedure perfectly. A similar situation happened in Texas where some students died. You have been asked by the homecoming committee to defend the tradition of building this structure.
