N2  - Engineers encounter difficult ethical problems in their practice and in research. In many ways, these problems are like design problems: They are complex and often ill-defined; resolving them involves an iterative process of analysis and synthesis; and there can be more than one acceptable solution. This book offers a real-world, problem-centered approach to engineering ethics, using a rich collection of open-ended scenarios and case studies to develop skill in recognizing and addressing ethical issues
