Ethics for Professionals: A Human Rights, Internationalist Perspective uses case studies and scenarios to educate engineering and other professionals and students about the role of ethics in the world of work. Using human rights as an international framework and a religiously neutral basis for ethics, this text focuses on honest ethics - people trying to be as ethical as possible given their actual work situations. Topics are broadly focused to reflect multicultural awareness. Examples of professional ethics challenges are chosen from around the world. The book includes contemporary issues such as outsourcing, considering sexual identity and orientation when hiring, and the new human rights legal framework, while retaining classic examples of ethical dilemmas in the practice of engineering, such as the Ford Pinto disaster, and addressing new challenges such as from information technology and self-driven cars. Ethics for Professionals increases students' awareness of the ethical questions they will encounter in their working lives and gives them the discernment and skills needed to deal with these issues. Dedicated to helping students learn about and implement ethical practices in their careers, Ethics for Professionals is well suited to any professional program where ethics is taught, particularly in engineering fields.
