The New Engineer Is planned obsolescence socially responsible? Sharon Beder This is article was published as Sharon Beder, "Is planned obsolescence socially responsible?", Engineers Australia , November 1998, p. 52. This is a final version submitted for publication. Minor editorial changes may have subsequently been made. In the 1930s an enterprising engineer working for General Electric proposed increasing sales of flashlight lamps by increasing their efficiency and shortening their life. Instead of lasting through three batteries he suggested that each lamp last only as long as one battery. In 1934 speakers at the Society of Automotive Engineers meetings proposed limiting the life of automobiles. These examples and others are cited in Vance Packard's classic book The Waste Makers. By the 1950s planned obsolescence had become routine and engineers worried over the ethics of deliberately designing products of inferior quality. The conflict between profits and engineering objectives were apparent. The fear of market saturation seemed to require such methods to ensure a prosperous economy, yet the consumer was being sold inferior products that could have been made more durable for little extra cost. In an editorial in Design News toward the end of the fifties, E. S. Safford asked whether engineers should resist the philosophy of planned obsolescence if their management commissioned a 'short-term product' and argued that they should not: "Planned existence spans of product may well become one of the greatest economic boosts to the American economy since the origination of time payments." What was required, he argued was "a new look at old engineering ethics". Instead of trying to build the best, the lightest, the fastest and the cheapest, engineers should be able to apply their skills to building shoddy articles that would fall apart after a short amount of time, all in the interests of the market.

Ethics Education for the Military Engineer by - Major Mark L. Nowack USAF I. INTRODUCTION II. ENCOURAGING ETHICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE Concern for ethical behavior in the civilian engineering profession has grown tremendously in recent years. The profession is attempting to clarify the responsibilities and rights of engineers, and provide some measure of protection for engineers, thereby encouraging ethical choices in difficult situations. A common approach to incorporating ethical practice into the engineering profession has been the development of a code of practice. As early as 1912, codes of practice have been employed primarily to clarify professional responsibilities and expectations. More recent codes also address responsibility to the public interest such as truth, honesty, and fairness. In other words, they are designed to help the practicing engineer make moral decisions, but they do a poor job of this. Codes can be problematic since they are sometimes restrictively short, self-conflicting, and have limited legal authority. Moreover, their proliferation tends to compartmentalize professional ethics. They apply narrowly to the engineering practice concerned. That is, their scope may not include the issues faced, say, by the engineer in management. In light of these problems, it is noteworthy that industry is calling on the education system to provide additional ethical training for future engineers.

Ethics Education for the Military Engineer by - Major Mark L. Nowack USAF The engineering profession, both military and civilian, has long been concerned with ethical practice. The last 15 years have seen an increased emphasis in the area of engineering ethics in Western universities. In general, the approaches developed for civilian engineering ethics education are being used in military-technical academies. However, given that professional pressures for the practicing military engineer differ from civilian counterparts, how should engineering ethics education be provided at a military-technical academy? This paper identifies professional issues unique to the military engineer. Practical suggestions for ethics education at military-technical academies are provided which exploit the unique strengths of these institutions. Program Ethics Main Menu Home

EAJ NEWS No.84 (February) SUMMARY President's New Year Address Prize Winners Member decorated by the Emperor (Fall 2001), Person of Cultural Merit: Inokuchi, Hiroo Kyoto-Award winner: Hayashi Izuo Lecture Meeting in the Chubu District "Ceramics Microstructure Control and Function -Modeling the Nature" Lecture Meeting in the Tohoku and Hokkaido District "Strategy of Activating the Tohoku District" Dr.Shoichi Noguchi, President of Sendai Foundation for Applied Information Sciences and Prof. Emeritus of Tohoku Univ., gave a lecture on "Strategy of Activating the Tohoku District."Dr. Noguchi talked about three topics of "U.S. Economy and current situation of Japan," "Strategy of activating the Tohoku District" and "IT ventures." U.S. Economy and current situation of Japan: In the U.S. after Cold War ending, military elite shifted to consumer industries and a new social economic system was established. The tertiary (service) industry has come to be controlled by Anglo-Saxons culture and a fall of export-oriented Japan and a rise of China in the world market have been witnessed. Strategy of activating the Tohoku District: Future development of the Tohoku District heavily depends on contribution of universities to the district (shift from IPv4 to v6, ubiquitous network using i-mode, nomadic society, new ventures). However in reality, the effective cooperation among industry, academia and government has not been materialized due to lack of strong leadership, insufficient budget procurement and inactive local government. In such a situation, the key to successful activation through cooperation among industry, academia and government is to introduce ideas from the private sector through 21-century- model of ventures projected by NPOs.

The New Engineer Your ethical obligations go further than you might think Sharon Beder This was article was published as Sharon Beder, 'Your ethical obligations go further than you might think', Engineers Australia , July 1998, p. 56. This is a final version submitted for publication. Minor editorial changes may have subsequently been made. Are an engineer's ethical obligations discharged once they report their concerns to their superiors? Should an engineer feel that that their ethical duties have been fulfilled when they have warned their employers of dangers to public welfare, health and safety, even though those employers have not acted on that warning? Can ethical obligations be transferred to others so easily? Not according to the US National Society for Professional Engineering (NSPE) in a case involving a city engineer.* The engineer was the most senior engineer working for the city council, reporting directly to the City Administrator. The engineer was responsible for waste disposal and had informed the City Administrator and some councillors that the city's waste disposal plant could not adequately handle the waste flow during rainy periods. In such circumstances there was a legal obligation to inform the state water pollution control authority of the situation. Upon being infromed of the situation the City Administrator transferred responsibility for the plant from the engineer to a technician and the engineer was instructed not to discuss the matter further or she would lose her job. The pollution control authority was not informed. During the following months storms occurred which caused the plant to overflow into the river which was a water supply to others downstream.

Is it Unnatural to Genetically Engineer Plants? Gary Comstock Department of Philosophy, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 comstock@iastate.edu Author's note. This article is based on remarks made in February 1998 at the annual meeting of the Weed Science Society of America in Chicago. Those remarks were in turn based on an article to be published in Spanish, entitled "Es Antinatural la Manipulacion Genetica de los Animales?" The Spanish version will appear in the Proceedings of the Segundo Congreso Caribeno de Bioetica, University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, March 1998. I thank Dr. William Frey of the University of Puerto Rico for permission to reprint a revised abbreviated English version of that article. The Spanish version addresses the question of the engineering of animals; the focus here is the engineering of plants. Whether we are thinking of flora or fauna, the unnaturalness objection raises the same cluster of concerns. Consequently, our assessment of those concerns need not vary significantly in turning from animals to plants. Key words: ethics, genetic engineering.

In these classroom exercises we explore these differences as manifested in the engineer serving as an expert witness in US courts of law. Some of the questions to be explored may be summarized thus. What is an expert witness? What are some of the differences between the lawyer's motives and the engineer's duty that may affect how the engineer acts, or is expected to act, as an expert witness? Is the very function of the expert witness in conflict with the codes of ethics professed by the engineer? If so, in what specific instances? Is it possible to mitigate, even eliminate, these conflicts? If so, how?

onlineethics.org The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Whistleblowing City Engineer Mario, the City Engineer/Director of Public Works for a medium-sized city, is the only licensed professional engineer in a position of responsibility within the city government. This city has several large food-processing plants that discharge large amounts of waste into the sanitary system during canning season. Mario is responsible for the disposal plant and reports to James about its operation. Mario tells James that the plant is not capable of handling potential overflow during the rainy season and offers several possible solutions. James replies that they will face the problem when it happens. Mario privately notifies other city officials about the plant problem, but James removes the responsibility for the sanitation system from Mario and gives it to Chris, a technician who is normally under Mario's supervision. James instructs Chris to report directly to him and confirms this arrangement with a memo, which is copied to Mario. Mario is also placed on probation. He is warned that if he discusses the matter further, he will be terminated. Mario continues to work for the government as City Engineer/Director of Public Works; he assumes no responsibility for the disposal plant, but continues to advise Chris without James's knowledge. During the winter, heavy storms occur in the city. It becomes clear to those involved that if the plant's waste water is not released into the local river, the ponds will overflow and dump all of the waste into the river. Under state law, this condition must be reported to the State Water Pollution Control Authority.
