ENGINEERING ETHICS. nr 3. Merits not due. Recognition in the field of engineering is afeat that costs the engineer's time, effort, money, etc. Itis unethical for an engineer to claim credit which is not due him, Neither is it proper for him to nequiesce-as his, any engineering accomplishment erroneously attributed to him. If he feels he had taken part in it he should make clear his position that the same is not wholely his accomplishment, After all humility and candidness even on non-technical subjects is always a virtue to which the Filipino is noted. 4 «Review of colleague's work, The engineer should not make or issue publicly undesirable comments or opinion regarding the work of acolleague except to save the public and the profession from harm or injury. If such necessity exists, it is advisable that he be informed through an informal arrangement before an open review of his work is made, otherwise the review or comment on an engineering work of a colleague chould be strictly on a professional level, disallowing at all times personality to slant in the discussion. More often than not, professional jealously takes place between bwo professionals aiming for recognition or struggling to survive in the field of their expertise. Success or survival shall not be at the expense of another in the profession but upon his merit. ‘To avoid of at beast minimize the effects of such possibility there are factors which may deserve serious consideration.

Contreversies with colleague, In the struggle te attain a worthy professional reputation an engineer may innocently step on the toe or run across the path of another trying also to carve a name for his career. As much as possible care should be observed to aveid a nanning conilict with another engineer considering that the practice as repeated again and again is a privilege and not a trade or business where unfair competion and monopoly is often witnessed. The practice should be pursued on a high level such that all his activities should be able to pass the test of objectivity. In the event that controversies arise or cannot be avoided the same should be submitted to the Philippine Society of Engineering, which may create a Board of Arbitration composed of thiee members chosen by each party, with the third being selected by the two member: purposely te reaelve the conflict.
