Overview: As you have learned, an engineering project can be thought of as a complex system with many interrelated parts. In your role as an engineering manager, you must be aware of the typical problems that can disrupt that system. Sometimes, you may be brought into an existing project—perhaps because of a restructuring in the organizational chart, or because the project has gone off-track and is in need of new leadership. When that happens, it is important to thoroughly assess the project dynamics before implementing new management strategies.
Prompt: In Milestone Two, you will analyze the ethical factors at play in the VALID case study, explain how the engineering codes of ethics apply to the case,and evaluate your own personal moral codes as they apply to the case.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Ethical Concerns
A. Evaluate the extent to which the project has been hampered by ethical dilemmas. Has there been an appropriate balance between engineering integrity and business needs? Defend your position with specific evidence.
B. Identify which elements of the engineering codes of ethics apply to the ethical dilemmas present in the case. Cite specific examples of each to illustrate.
C. Reflect on the ethical concerns in this case in regard to how they inform your own personal moral code as an engineering manager. How would you weigh the costs and benefits of the opposing values in this case? Illustrate with specific examples.
