In engineering, ethics is not only the cornerstone of professional behavior, but also the key to promoting social progress and protecting public safety. With the rapid development of technology, the ethical challenges facing engineers are increasing. It is therefore important to understand and commit to the ethical principles of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) and the Engineering Council (EC).
In 2005, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Engineering Council jointly published a set of ethical principles designed to guide engineers to demonstrate the highest ethical standards in their careers. These principles emphasize integrity, impartiality, respect and responsibility. As engineers, we should ensure that technological innovation improves the quality of human life while protecting the environment and respecting the rights of all stakeholders. I am committed to doing so and will continue to do so in the future.
In order to maintain honesty and integrity, I promise to act in a responsible and trustworthy manner, always considering the impact of my actions on others, and to respect confidentiality obligations. I will distance myself from fraud and actively expose any corrupt or malicious practices.
I choose to recommend the resources of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. The Center offers a wide range of engineering ethics case studies that specify how ethical principles can be applied in real-world work. I chose this resource because it provides practical examples and in-depth analysis to help me better understand the combination of theory and practice
In conclusion, through in-depth research and reflection on the ethical principles of RAE/EC and the professional ethical guidance of IET, I have deepened my understanding of the responsibilities that I assume as a future engineer.
