    Mohammad Shareef Amawi
    An ethical code outlines moral principles to guide a profession's conduct. For engineers, the main principles uphold human welfare, honesty, competence, and supporting their discipline. The seven canons of engineering ethics are to hold safety paramount, serve competently, issue true statements, act as a faithful agent, gain reputation on merit, uphold honor, and continue developing skills. Specifically, engineers must only practice within their expertise, build reputation through merit rather than unfair competition, and provide development opportunities for other engineers.

    Ethical code:

    A written set of guidelines issued by an organization to its workers and management


    to help them conduct their actions in accordance with its primary values and ethical
    standards.

    Or
    an ethical code is a set of moral principles used to govern the conduct of a
    profession

    The main principles of engineering ethical codes:

    First of all,

    Engineers uphold and advance the integrity, honor, and dignity of the
    engineering profession by :

     using their knowledge and skill for the enhancement of human welfare
    and the environment;
     being honest and impartial and serving with fidelity the public, their
    employers, and clients;
     striving to increase the competence and prestige of the engineering
    profession; and
     supporting the professional and technical societies of their disciplines.

    Fundamentals of engineering ethics:

    There are seven main fundamental canons of engineering ethics :

    *CANON 1. HOLD SAFETY PARAMOUNT

    *CANON 2. SERVICE WITH COMPETENCE

    *CANON 3. ISSUE TRUE STATEMENTS

    *CANON 4. ACT AS A FAITHFUL AGENT

    *CANON 5. REPUTATION BY MERIT

    *CANON 6. UPHOLD PROFESSIONAL HONOR

    *CANON 7. CONTINUE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

    - The most important thing is to :

    " TREAT ALL PERSONS FAIRLY"


    # Now I'll illustrate three of these canons:

    []SERVICE WITH COMPETENCE:

    Engineers shall perform services only in areas of their competence.

    this canon means that an engineer may not seal an engineering plan or
    document unless that document has been prepared or reviewed under his or
    her supervisory control

    [] REPUTATION BY MERIT

    Engineers shall build their professional reputation on the merit of their


    services and shall not compete unfairly with others.

    This canon focus on the methods by which an engineer may attempt to gain
    an unfair advantage over his or her competitors.

    [] CONTINUE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

    Engineers shall continue their professional development throughout


    their careers, and shall provide opportunities for the professional
    development of those engineers under their supervision.
