1. Professional ethics Professionalism over common morality and personal ethics. Ethical commitment.

(code of professional responsibility or code of conduct) More important than personal morality Negative effects: There are rules and prohibitions.

2. Responsibility: Engineers should satisfy the standard of reasonable care. Responsible engineers practive good judgment, not only following rules. Obligation responsibility: Use their specialized knowledge and skills to begenfit clients and public. Responsible charge: A person in responsible charge has an obligation to see to it that the engineering project is performed in accordance with professional standards(ethical, technical) --- Blame responsibility .

Conclusion: As members of this profession, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people.. Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
