Introduction

Engineering is one of the high-ranking and high level job. The job profession need a lot
of integrity and responsibility to achieved required standard. There is more demand of
workers to be an engineer as the level of technologies increasing. The job scopes are even
larger than before. The examples of engineering profession in the world are civil engineer,
chemical engineer, mechanical engineer, software engineer and many more.

As we know, engineering contribute many things for the society. If there is no


engineering profession, every country will be in lower level of development. All professions
have their own principles and rules. In other words, every work needs a good ethics to get
good result in our work. Engineering is not an easy application for work. The engineering
technologies will change people health, safety and welfare [1].

Besides that, to be a good engineer the person needs to follow the codes and policies
according to their job scope and company. Ethics are the principle of attitude and moral value
in a person for a system. The engineering profession have an engineering ethics as the
guideline to be a good and excellent engineer. Engineering ethics defined as a scientific
discipline set that apply to the engineering course. It contains eight codes of ethics such as
below:-

1. Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

2. American Institute of Chemical Engineer.

3. American Society of Civil Engineer.

4. American Society of Mechanical Engineer.

5. IEEE Code of Ethics.

6. NCEES Model Rules of Professional Conduct

7. NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineer.

8. Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

Discussions

The code of ethics is an obligation of morality for the engineers to obey. It is like the
guideline for the engineers. It intended to help the expert conduct business sincerely with
uprightness as an aide of morals code. It may diagram the mission and estimations of te
business or association, approaches issues of experts. The moral standards taking into the
account center of the association qualities.

IEEE codes of ethics consist of ten principles. The principles are such as acknowledge
obligation in settling on choces that reliable with the wellbeing and welfare of the whole
population and to uncover immedietly surrounding or nature. They need to prevent from
anything that dangerous occur. The example is the engineer cannot release the personal data
of the client to others. The engineer must protect the client information except as required by
the code of law. The engineer has to approve the document that following the standard [2].

Besides that, the second IEEE code is to find and receive any criticism to improve their
quality of work. The code also guide to appreciate others contribution. The example is the
engineers have to always improve and accept other employee opinion. The engineers must at
least say thank you after been help or congratulate for a contribution. Thus, it is to enhance
the comprehension of innovation and outcomes potential [3].

The codes from NSPE Code of Ethics are the engineers should not take easy about the
safety, health and welfare of society. The engineer shall not give permission to use their name
to join any venture with untrusted company. Moreover, the second principle of the code is the
engineers shall do job that only precise to their field of study or course. The chemical
engineer must do work for related to chemical engineering only.

The principle of Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice are the
engineer shall act following the society interest. The engineer encouraged to teach and
volunteer for good reason. The second principle is the software engineer should ensure the
product give the highest standard as possible. The engineer must make sure the method used
is suitable and appropriate for the project [4].

NCEES Model Rules of professional Conduct might tie on each individual holding on
endorsement of licensure to offer or perform designing over administration in state. All the
authorized people are required to be acquainted with the authorizing statute and standard.
Furthermore, every licence is accused of the obligation of sticking to the most astounding
principles of moral in all part of the act.

Individual from AlChE should maintain and propel the trustworthy, honour and poise of
the building calling by the straight forward, unprejudiced and serving their managers,
customers and general population with devotion. It gave instructive assets on morals, a
branch of knowledge without plenitude of open discussion, to all part of the synthetic
designing calling [5].

Scope of Engineering Ethics

Seven themes

1. Possibilities and risks are generated by social experiments of engineering project.


They share responsibility for creating benefits, preventing harm and pointing out
dangerous.
2. Moral values permeate all aspects of technological development, so ethics and
excellence in engineering go together.
3. Personal meaning and commitment matter in engineering ethics, along with principles
of responsibility that are stated in codes of ethics that must be follow by all engineers.
4. Promoting responsible conduct is even more important than punishing wrong doing.
5. Ethical dilemmas arise in engineering as elsewhere, because moral values are a lot
and can conflict.
6. Engineering ethics should explore both micro and macro issues, which often
connected.
7. Technologist development warrants cautions optimism.

Conclusions.

As the conclusions, all the codes of ethics have the similar fundamental canon. It is related
to each other. The principle provided for the engineer is important to guide the worker
become more discipline and integrated. It made society safer and develop within the time.
Moreover, it can be differentiate into formal code and personal morality. The ethics consist of
two faces which is preventive ethics and promote the welfare to the public. Lastly, the
engineering ethics can create a better future for the profession and the whole society.
