An Engineer shouldn’t just master the fundamentals of mathematics, but also the commitment of ethics. The (RAE) Royal Academy of engineering and the Engineering council have made a statement of ethical principles for engineering. The rule gives good examples of how an engineer should conduct to these rules.
For this module EG-252 we will be creating a microhouse in a group of four. This means that the important ethics will apply. By working in a group/team of four the basic ethics of great communication, leadership, Honesty and integrity.
I am the project leader for this group exercise which means that I need to find and create relevant task to the student. As the project leader its my responsibility to give a clear and good understanding of the project and keep a clean communication with my fellow colleagues.
The IET page of professionalism and ethics in engineering Explains the importance of how a member of the IET should not undertake task that they are not competent to discharge (6). This is very important when we construct the micromouse that everybody is confident of the task that they are given.
By working in teams it’s important to respect each other and help where its needed. The (NSPE) National society of professionals Engineers offer a great guide to respecting intellectual property right, this ensures that all design and ideas are originally licensed when creating the micromouse.
In conclusion, our approach of the EG-252 micromouse project is based of most of the ethical engineering practices. By conduct to these ethics we aim not to only achieve a great micromouse but a great team which respect each other and the basic ethics of engineering principles.
