In choosing any particular solution, engineers must make value choices. By focusing on the solving of these problems, \u003cem\u003eEthics Within Engineering\u003c\/em\u003e shows how ethics is at the intellectual core of engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around a number of engaging case studies, Wade Robison presents real examples of engineering problems that everyone, engineer or not, will recognise, ranging from such simple artefacts as toasters and the layout of burners and knobs on a stove top to the software responsible for the Columbia airliner crash. The most dramatic examples centre on error-provocative designs: designs that provoke mistakes for even the most intelligent, well-informed, and highly motivated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese examples all raise ethical issues, posing questions for the reader, forcing the give-and-take of discussion in classrooms and the consideration of alternative solutions that solve the original design problem without the unfortunate features of the original solution. This original, focused approach provides an ideal entry point for anyone looking to better understand professional ethical responsibilities within engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000615289068,"sku":"9781474286053","price":134.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24998053482712.jpg?v=1763289395"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/wade-l-robison.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
