Engineering Ethics
Quote:
Just like doctors, engineers are expected to utilize their skills and knowledge in a benevolent fashion. Where the Hippocratic Oath outlines the ethical standards for physicians (simplified as "do no harm") there isn't one standard oath for engineers. Several professional engineer organizations each have their own vows. The following ethics were enacted by the American Society of Professional Engineers in 1914, and also convey the same principles upheld by oaths of other engineering organizations.

SmiechAs far as I know, this applies on different aspects of human activity and life in society, since ethics deals with all aspects of human behaviour.
Certain ethical principles not commonly to be part of professional ethics, should be implicitly accepted to judge the engineer's professional performance.
