What is the ethical and professional responsibility in Elect

What is the ethical and professional responsibility in Electrical Engineering? Explain how we recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning? How does engineering solutions have an impact in global, economic, environmental and societal context?

Solution

1)

Engineers shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property, and welfare of the public. If their professional judgment is overruled under circumstances where the safety, health, property, or welfare of the public are endangered, they shall notify their employer or client and such other authority as may be appropriate.

Electrical Engineering Ethics

Electrical Engineering is a type of engineering profession that deals with the creation of better electronics. Since our society is heading towards an era of technology, where all members of society will be affected, it is especially important for electrical engineers to follow a code of engineering ethics. For electrical engineers, an important set of guidelines is the Electrical Engineering Code of Ethics, published by IEEE (n.d.), the major professional association for engineers working in the fields of electrical, electronics, computer engineering, and communications. The Code emphasizes above all else honesty and avoidance of endangerment to the public or the environment.

2)

  Knowledge can be acquired and skill-sets developed anywhere – learning is unavoidable and happens all the time. However, lifelong learning is about creating and maintaining a positive attitude to learning both for personal and professional development.

Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world around us, provide us with more and better opportunities and improve our quality of life.

There are two main reasons for learning throughout life: for personal development and for professional development. These reasons may not necessarily be distinct as personal development can improve your employment opportunities and professional development can enable personal growth.

3)

Is familiar with the current trends and developments in electrical and computer engineering
Respects the historical aspects of engineering solutions and their impacts
Reads and is familiar with the content of periodicals that are relevant to understanding the global and societal impact of engineering
Has a personal perspective on the importance of engineering and technology in today\'s world
