Engineering bodies build foundation for professional practice and ethics in process of revival

摘要

Three U.S.-based engineering bodies have determined that the route to their future success lies in helping their members enhance their knowledge of ethics and professional conduct issues. Accordingly, they've teamed up to create a new Foundation for Professional Practive (FPP).A proposal to form the new foundation was approved unanimously last July by the board of the 123,000-member American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The other founding partners are the ASFE (formerly the Associated Soil and Foundation Engineers), comprising environmental, civil and geo professionals, and the Institute for professional Practice (IPP) based in New Jersey.
