which clearly states “Engineers shall not reveal facts, data, or information without
the prior consent of the client or employer except as authorized or required by law
or this Code.

3. She violated Code of Ethics for Engineers section III.9.a, which says, “Engineers shall,
whenever possible, name the person or persons who may be individually responsible for
designs, inventions, writings, or other accomplishments.”
