Ethics Within Engineering: An Introduction
Autor Wade L. Robisonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 ian 2024
Two new chapters on the responsibility of the engineer and the ethical issues that arise when teams work together to solve design problems, together with new material on tracking harms in the design process, provide a fuller comprehension of risk and harm in engineering. Robison further enhances this new edition with contemporary examples that highlight the enduring necessity of ethics to engineering. These range from the Boeing 737-MAX to General Motors' controversial 20-gallon fuel tanks. Using real life examples that bring the theory to life, this student-led textbook encourages students to present, challenge, and work through different engineering problems and solutions with confidence and a strong evidence-based approach.
Consistent with the 1st edition's emphasis on the original design problem which drives ethical questions in engineering, this new edition positions the nascent engineer as its focus for driving positive change in practice, design, and delivery.

Recenzii
With Ethics within engineering, Wade Robison has written an accessible textbook about all the ethical choices that engineers make when engaged in design activities. His illuminating discussion of error-provocative design will be of interest to a broader audience of readers who are interested in how people interact with technology.
The second edition of Wade Robison's Ethics Within Engineering retains the central argument of the first, that ethics is internal to engineering design. This edition adds a detailed analysis of ethical problems engineers face when working in teams with others. His arguments are first-rate and fundamental.
In this compact, approachable update to the first edition of this volume, Wade Robison draws on both classic and new cases of engineering failure to raise a window for engineering students to discover how design choices necessarily involve ethical choices as well, including decisions regarding sustainability and fairness to all users. Robison also widens the aperture of this new edition to consider ethical issues faced by practicing engineers working on teams and in corporate contexts. Given today's ever-quickening pace of technological innovation, here is a book that engineering educators would be well-advised to adopt.
