Synopsis
Engineers encounter difficult ethical problems in their practice and in research. In many ways, these problems are like design problems: they are complex, often ill-defined; resolving them involves an iterative process of analysis and synthesis; and there can be more than one acceptable solution. This book offers a real-world, problem-centered approach to engineering ethics, using a rich collection of open-ended scenarios and case studies to develop skill in recognizing and addressing ethical issues.

Review
'I am very enthusiastic about Dr Whitbeck's effort to help us think effectively and somewhat pragmatically about professional ethics. Everyone, professionals in particular, must expect ethically-complex situations to arise ... This book will help seasoned professionals clarify their approach to their own behavior, and this book can profoundly affect those who face a messy situation for the first time.' Woodie C. Flowers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from the Foreword
'The book is invaluable in focusing attention on an important subject which is all too often ignored.' F. G. Helps, IEE Review
'I consider this book a welcome addition to the engineering ethics bookshelf. It is more advanced and ambitious than most textbooks in the field, and it expresses in numerous instances original views that are yet to enter the mainstream in engineering practice and research.' IEEE Spectrum
