In this course, you'll learn about the Ethics continuum and the disastrous results that can occur when engineers cross the line between ethical and unethical behavior. Several engineering disasters will be briefly discussed to illustrate the potential consequences of unethical behavior. Particular emphasis is placed on the Challenger disaster, where one of the engineers changed his position from “scrub the mission” to “launch” because of pressure from management.
You’ll also learn what makes up the culture of an organization, as well as the differences between human values and ethical values. Finally, you’ll be introduced to the speaker’s own ethical model: The Grubbs’ Ethical Model.
This is a video recording of a live seminar held April 21, 2017 as a part of the 2017 Tulane Engineering Forum, and is offered exclusively by PDHengineer by special arrangement with the engineering alumni of Tulane University and the Tulane School of Science and Engineering. This valuable information is presented by Jack Grubbs, PhD, PE, motivational and leadership speaker, and author of GrubbsStuff.
