    Codes of ethics are important in biomedical engineering for several reasons. They help ensure integrity, confidentiality, and honesty which are necessary when conducting research with patients. As technology advances, codes of ethics also help ensure capabilities are not deemed as crossing into nature, religion or beliefs. Codes of ethics are created by combining guidelines from both medical and engineering fields, such as the Hippocratic Oath and guidelines from organizations like ABET. Consequences for breaking codes can include losing credibility, and potential lawsuits. Important ethics associations that guide the field include ABET, BMES, IEEE, and ASME.

    What are Ethics?

    • The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class


    of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.
    • Moral principles ‫ا لمبادئا ألخالقية‬
    • Values relating to human conduct, with respect to the
    rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the
    goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such
    actions.
    Why are Ethics Important in
    Biomedical Engineering?
    • Any medical fields deal with serious and personal issues.
    • Integrity ‫ ا لتزاهة‬and confidentiality are necessary to allow
    engineering to conduct research with patients and for results to be
    deemed relevant and progressive

    • As technology advances so does our capabilities in engineering


    and medical fields.
    • These capabilities can allow us to achieve things people may deem
    as science crossing into nature or religion/beliefs.
    ‫يمكن أن تسمح لنا هذه القدرات بتحقيق أشياء قد يعتبرها الناس على أنها عبور العلم إلى‬
    ‫الطبيعة أو الدين أو المعتقدات‬
    How are Codes of Ethics Created
    in Biomedical Engineering?
    • Combines ethics from both the medical field and engineering
    fields.
    • Examples:
    • Medical: Hippocratic Oath ‫ق سم أبقراط‬
    • Engineering: ABET & other organizations

    • Biomedical engineers may not be medical practitioners but


    they are considered indirect practitioners.
    • Work closely with practitioners.
    “Types” of Ethics in Biomedical
    Engineering
    • Professional Ethics

    • Natural & Human ethics

    Ethics & Education!
    • Ethics influence how and what we are taught in school.

    • ABET accredits schools however in order to receive


    accreditation programs must meet standards and teach their
    students required material.

    • That means ethics is influencing everything we are learning


    right now!
