Global Engineering Ethics, Second Edition introduces the fundamentals of ethics in a context specific to engineering without privileging any one national or cultural conception of ethics. Numerous case studies from around the world help the reader to clearly see the relevance of design, safety, and professionalism for engineers. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand or communicate the ethics of engineering, including students, academics, and researchers, and it is indispensable for those involved in international and cross-cultural environments.

Engineering increasingly takes place in global contexts, with industrial and research teams operating across national and cultural borders. This book adds a layer of complexity to already challenging ethical issues.

• Takes a global-values approach to engineering ethics rather than prioritizing any one national or regional culture
• Uses engineering case studies to explain ethical issues and principles in relatable, practical contexts
• Approaches engineering from a business perspective, emphasizing the extent to which engineering occurs in terms of profit-driven markets and addressing potential conflicts that may arise as a result
• Provides extensive guidance on how to carry out ethical analysis by using case studies to practice how to address and think through issues
