| Abstract
|
:
|
"Engineering Ethics: Peace, Justice, and the Earth presents a response from the engineering profession to the challenges of security, poverty, and under-development, and environmental sustainability. Ethical codes, which govern the behavior of engineers, are examined from a historical perspective linking the prevailing codes to models of the natural world. A new ethical code based on a recently introduced model of Nature as an integral community is provided and discussed. Applications of the new code are described using a case study approach. With the ethical code based on an integral community in place, author George D. Catalano develops and explores a new design algorithm using case studies. He then considers the implications of the proposed changes in ethics and design on engineering education."--BOOK JACKET
