WHAT ARE ENGINEERING ETHICS
We, the members of the IEEE, in recognition of the importance of our technologies in affecting the quality of life throughout the world, and in accepting a personal obligation to our profession, its members and the communities we serve, do hereby commit ourselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct and agree: ……………………………………..
This is what one professional institute states
WHAT ARE ENGINEERING ETHICS
1. To accept responsibility in making engineering decisions consistent with the safety, health and welfare of the public, and to disclose promptly factors that might endanger the public or the environment;
2. To avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest whenever possible, and to disclose them to affected parties when they do exist;
3. To be honest and realistic in stating claims or estimates based on available data;
4. To reject bribery in all its forms;
5. To improve the understanding of technology, its appropriate application, and potential consequences;
IEEE ETHICS APPROVED AUGUST 1990
WHAT ARE ENGINEERING ETHICS
6. To maintain and improve our technical competence and to undertake technological tasks for others only if qualified by training or experience, or after full disclosure of pertinent limitations;
7. To seek, accept, and offer honest criticism of technical work, to acknowledge and correct errors, and to credit properly the contributions of others;
8. To treat fairly all persons regardless of such factors as race, religion, gender, disability, age, or national origin;
9.To avoid injuring others, their property, reputation, or employment by false or malicious action;
10. To assist colleagues and co-workers in their professional development and to support them in following this code of ethics.
IEEE ETHICS APPROVED AUGUST 1990
Ranked design criteria:
1. Spectral efficiency (simultaneous conversations/MHz/km2)
2. Subjective voice quality
3. Cost of mobile unit
4. Feasibility of a hand portable unit
5. Cost of base station
6. Ability to support new services
7. Ability to coexist with existing systems
