Lecture 8 Tutorial

Scenario 1
• During an inspection of a newly constructed bridge, a civil
engineer notices significant structural weaknesses that could
lead to a collapse under heavy load. The engineer reports these
findings to their immediate supervisor, but the supervisor
dismisses the concerns, citing budget constraints and project
deadlines.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: _internal whistle blowing_______________________________.
Scenario 2
• A mechanical engineer discovers that a new
batch of industrial machines sold by their
company has a critical design flaw that could
lead to severe malfunctions and potential
injuries. After reporting the issue to the
company's management and seeing no action
taken, the engineer decides to inform a
regulatory body outside the company.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the
engineer use in this scenario?
• Answer: _external whistle
blowing______________________________
Scenario 3
•A civil engineer working on a major
construction project uncovers that the materials
being used are not compliant with environmental
regulations, posing a significant risk to the
local ecosystem. The engineer writes an
anonymous letter detailing the violations and
sends it to a local environmental watchdog
organization.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the
engineer use in this scenario?
• Answer: ___ unkown whistle blowing
Scenario 4
• A Civil engineer identifies that a supplier is
providing substandard materials that are being
used in the construction of a high-rise
building. The engineer publicly voices these
concerns at a professional conference, openly
sharing his identity and the details of the
issue.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the
engineer use in this scenario?
• Answer: ___ aknowledge whistle blowing
_______________________
Scenario 5
• A civil engineer discovers evidence of corruption and
bribery in the bidding process for a major public
infrastructure project. After attempting to address the
issue internally and facing retaliation, the engineer
leaks the documents to a journalist while keeping their
identity hidden.

• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer

use in this scenario?
• Answer: ___ unkown whistle blowing
____________________________
Scenario 6
• A mechanical engineer at an automotive manufacturing plant
discovers that safety protocols are being routinely ignored,
leading to potentially dangerous working conditions. The
engineer reports this issue to the plant's safety committee,
hoping for an internal resolution.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: __ internal whistle blowing
_______________________
Scenario 7
• A civil engineer learns that their company has falsified safety
certifications for a new commercial building project. The
engineer reports this fraud to a government agency responsible
for building safety, providing all necessary documentation.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: __ aknowledge whistle blowing
_____________________
Scenario 8
• A civil engineer is part of a team working on a publicly funded
infrastructure project. They uncover that project funds are being
misused by senior management. The engineer openly reports
these findings to a local newspaper, attaching his name to the
report.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: __ aknowledge whistle blowing
_____________________
Scenario 9
• A mechanical engineer working for a manufacturer of consumer
electronics discovers that a new product line has a defect that
could cause serious injury. Fearing retaliation, the engineer
submits an anonymous tip to a consumer safety advocacy
group.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: _ unkown whistle blowing
______________________
Scenario 10
• A mechanical engineer notices that unapproved design
changes are being made to a critical component of an aircraft,
which could compromise safety. The engineer first reports this
issue through the company's internal whistleblowing hotline but
does not receive any response. Frustrated, the engineer then
takes the issue to an industry oversight body while maintaining
anonymity.
• Question: Which type of whistleblowing did the engineer use in
this scenario?
• Answer: _______________________
