The Cambridge Dictionary defines Ethics as “a system of accepted beliefs that control behavior, especially such a system based on morals”, and morals are defined as “….standards of good behavior, honesty, and fair dealing….”. Engineering Ethics is the application of moral standards to the practice of Engineering, and defines an Engineer’s responsibilities to and behavior toward clients, the engineering profession, and society.
