Engineering Essay
Essay is about academic dishonesty. You will write an essay in which you address an ethical issue of your choice related to engineering. Your issue might be a “micro” ethical issue, an ethical dilemma faced by an individual, such as one of the four cases described on pp. 38-39 in the text. Other possible dilemmas might arise for an engineering student tempted to plagiarize in order to complete a writing assignment or for a manufacturing engineer confronted with the possibility of replacing conventional machine tools with highly automated ones, thereby eliminating the jobs of experienced machinists or relegating them merely to the service of the new automated machine tools.
