Engineering faculty members have an ethical mandate to produce responsible engineering graduates. Faculty in engineering are required by our codes of ethics to "hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public" by carefully preparing future engineers. Faculty are required to "act as faithful agents for their employers," properly serving the university, which provides education for the students. We are required "to issue truthful statements," which would include correct technical information. Our graduates must be technically competent and ethical (basic ABET outcomes) as well as well-prepared for the workplace with a readiness to work.
