Thursday Ethics Workshop

Thursday September 26th 1:00-3:00 PM - Ethics - The Heart of the Engineering Profession

Technology has advanced engineering, as a profession, over the past 40 years.  While technology has changed, people have not, and we continue to face the same ethical dilemmas we faced 40 years ago.  This workshop, "Ethics - The Heart of the Engineering Profession", will discuss why ethics is a core principle of our industry, while outlining some of the ethical issues that engineers encounter over their careers using pertinent case studies.  We'll discuss the gamut of issues, review the engineering code of ethics applicable to professional societies, professional licensing boards, and our places of employment; and introduce tools and resources that will help engineers stay on the right path, professionally.

Thursday Welcome Reception

Thursday September 26th 6:00-8:00 PM at Decades
