Purpose and Background
Professionals are faced with many competing priorities during the execution of their duties. Many professions provide individuals with guiding doctrine, a code of conduct, and/or canons to establish a common baseline of expectations. Unfortunately, business very often doesn't present us with simple or unambiguous choices. ASCE provides members with a code of ethics and canons to help navigate the difficult professional choices that we are sometimes faced with. This webinar examines the ASCE code and canons as the baseline values for avoiding and/or resolving ethical dilemmas. It provides an understanding of acceptable legal conditions vs. ethical conditions. Participants explore business situations that can lead to compromising ethics and how to avoid those temptations. This webinar examines various case studies and choices with which engineering professionals are often faced. Participants engage in an interactive discussion of these case studies with respect to the key issues, where little things turned into big things. This webinar concludes with a discussion of where professional can turn to for help when faced with ethical dilemmas.
