Some of the Personal Ethics are Copying of Home works and tests Copying of video CD‟s Usage of college papers for personal use Software piracy Income taxes9. Define the term Ethics ?Term Ethics obtained from the Greek word ethos, which means study of what is wrong and what is right (or)study of good and bad character.10. Define Engineering Ethics ?Engineering Ethics is The study of the moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizationsengaged in engineering and The study of related questions about the moral ideas, character, policies, relationship of peopleand corporations involved in technological activities.11. What are Three Types of Enquiry?(May 2013)Three Types of Enquiry areNormative Enquiry, Factual Enquiry, Conceptual Enquiry12. Explain the Three Types of Enquiry ?Normative Enquiry is the most central, which seek to identify the values that should guide individuals andgroups. Conceptual Enquiry are directed towards clarify the meaning of concepts, principles and issues in EngineeringEthics. Factual Enquiry or Descriptive Enquiry or Explanatory Enquiry, which seek to uncover information bearing uponvalue issues and identify the key factors that call for specific actions.13. List some of the examples of Normative Enquiry.Some of the examples of Normative Enquiry are listed below. How far does the obligation of engineers to protectpublic safety extend in given situations? When if ever should engineers be expected to blow the whistle on dangerouspractices and the judgment for whom the work. Whose values ought to be primary in making judgments about acceptablerisks in a design of public transport system, those of management, senior engineers, voters, or a combination of these.Which particular laws and organizational procedures affecting engineering practice are morally warranted? What moralrights should engineers be recognized as having in order to help them fulfill their professional obligations.14. Define the term Bribe.Money or gift given to obtain procure things (that is often dishonest or illegal things). Therefore, the action ordecision taken is in favor of the person who had given the bribe.15.

What are the different levels of moral development suggested by Kohlberg? The different levels of moral development suggested by Kohlberg are Pre-conventional Conventional Post-conventional18. Define Micro-Ethics.This term stresses more about some typical and everyday problems, which play an important role in the field ofengineering and in the profession of an engineer.19. Define Macro-Ethics.This term deals with all the social problems which are unknown and suddenly burst out on a regional or nationallevel.20. What are steps used to resolve the Moral Dilemmas?There are six steps to resolve the moral dilemmas, they are Identify the problem Identify the potential issuesinvolved Review your organization‟s code of ethics, policies and local laws Evaluate potential course of action Obtainconsultation Determine the best course of action21.

Some of the Models of Professional Roles are Savior, Guardians, Bureaucratic Servant, and Social Servants,Social enabler and catalyst and Game Players.24 Engineers as Bureaucrat – Discuss?The role of engineers is to be a servant who receives and translates the directives of management into concreteachievement. The engineer‟s special skill resides in solving problems within the constraints assigned by the manager.25. Engineers as Saviors – Discuss?Some people taught that a philosopher king is required to create a ideal society and other group believed thatengineers hold the key in creating a stopian society.punished. This is the development of children and few adults never cross this stage. (Same as Kohlberg Theory forthis level alone)26.Engineers as Guardians – Discuss?Engineers know the best direction in which the technology should develop. Accordingly, they give position basison the experience, so that they can guard the society by doing things that is involved for the best of the society.27.Engineers as Social Servants – Discuss?The role of engineers is obedient service to the management but their true master is the society. Society expressesits interest either directly by purchasing products or indirectly through government representation and consumer groups.Engineers in cooperation with the management have the task of receiving society directly and satisfy the society needs.28. Engineers as Social enabler and catalyst – Discuss?Engineers are also called as social servant models. Service to the society is not carried out directly; ultimatepower and authority lie with management for the engineers. Sometime engineers are needed to help management so thatthey can understand their own needs to make decisions about technological developments.29 Engineers as Game Players – Discuss?Engineers are neither servants nor masters of anyone. Instead they play by the economics game rules that happensto be effective at a given times. Their aim is to play successfully within a organization, enjoying both the pleasures oftechnological work and the satisfaction of winning ahead in a competitive world.30.
