Overview
Speaker(s)

Experience Level: Any level of experience

Using the most recent cases from the Board of Ethical Review, attendees with gain insight to the duty of engineers to report. One case will examine the duty to report all available information and that acts of omission can be just as dangerously unethical as acts of commission. The second case will consider the duties of an engineer when observing an issue that is unrecognized by the public. The third case will analyze the engineer’s duties when a submission is mischaracterized. The final case will examine the issue of whether or not ethical duties are changed by changes in legal liability.

Learning Outcomes:

•Recognizing a duty to report all available information.
•Recognizing a duty to report an unrecognized issue.
•Recognizing a duty to report a mischaracterization of status.
•Recognizing the ethical implications of a change in liability.
