Engineering Ethics and Challenges

This assignment delves into the ethical considerations and contemporary challenges confronting engineers. It examines how environmental concerns, government regulations, and societal expectations influence engineering practices. Discussions include the role of engineers in sustainable development, the impact of technological advancements, and the importance of responsible decision-making.

Short Writing task 1
Engineering is a collaborative effort that is used by engineers for having a technical
knowledge of various fields in the society. Engineering spends a lot of money that are belongings
to many people. The value of an engineer cannot be measured with societal interactions and
expertise. I have learnt that engineers are peer assets of a country. They are responsible for the
development of country. In Australia 20% of the economy of country is spend on the engineers
for providing their innovative ideas and development of country.
Short writing task 2
The thinking regarding the engineers have changed a lot. The water supply department
have assessed their contribution in developing new projects for the water harvesting system in
the country. The supply of water has been channelized by new engineering designs in the
society. The delivery of products has been nurtured in the country that has to be resolved. An
engineer in an organization helps in providing excellent work for the development of the
organization and country. There are many complaints regarding the financial crisis and inability
to work with project managers in the organizations.

An expert is a person who have knowledge about a particular field and have expertise
that in the life. There are various experts in various fields including leaders, businessman,
education and scientists. Nelson Mandela was a great leader and politician in South Africa. It
takes around ten years to be an expert in a particular field. They used to have a hard practice of
their field and become an expert. An expertise requires a deep knowledge of that field and
having many years of practicing. There are certain evidence of having talent and skill by birth.

On other hand, becoming an expert requires a pure devotion towards work in their particular
field. They used to have higher level of performance in both performance and skills.
Short writing task 4
Motivation and training is essential for gathering knowledge and enhance my skills in my
studies. Examples of great experts all over the world motivates me for enhancing my skills and
knowledge in my field. I have to evaluate my own performance in order to mitigate my problems
and weak points. The ability to evaluate own performance helps in increasing confidence and
enhance skills. Deliberate practice helps in encouraging problem-solving attitude in the students
in the class. Self-learning is a great procedure that has to be developed in the class in this term
that help students to analyses their strong and weak points. Before starting the project I would
train all the employees regarding their responsibilities of the job they are dealing with so that
their duties are performed correctly. All the quality standards must be ensured properly for which
the line manager and the manager of upper level should come in work.
Small writing task 5
Listening plays an important role in enhancing personal skills. Listening to others
develop a better communication string. The listening ability of an engineer helps in becoming an
expert by grabbing knowledge. A comprehensive reading not only reading the context but also
understanding the content and perception of beliefs of a person. They are creative designers and
innovate engineering solutions for acquiring expertise in the field. . A proper observation is
required during seeing and sketching them in a paper evaluates performance. This helps in
promoting self-evaluation skills in an engineer. The best behavior regarding time management

that is followed by me is to do a particular work in advance so that the work can be completed
before the expected time. However, this does not work all the time which makes the worst
behavior in managing the time. Sometimes I feel that the work is going too fast, which makes the
working process slow serving as the late completion of the project.
Small writing task 6
The research has been on engineers to understand their interest in developing the country
in various fields. In this context, archives portraying an engineering venture design, a content,
likewise require appropriate engineers; the arrangement will have been set up by senior
specialists, conceivably with broad meeting among every one of the specialists included. Basic
outlines utilized as a part of engineering mechanics issues and electrical circuits are expected to
pass on unambiguous significance for understudies. . Unless understudies have played with a
pulley, for instance, they may totally misconstrue an outline that speaks to a pulley with a basic
circle. Unless the proprietors have contemplated designing, numerous little firms would not in
any case have a designer on staff; rather, they depend on self-prepared experts. Bigger firms, as
clarified, keep their designers well far from obtaining choices.
Small writing task 7
Time management helped in maintaining and dividing time to various work according to
priority. I have been captain in my sporting team. There I understand how to show leadership
skills on field. I noticed that there is a lack in my leadership skill that I have to be resolve by
continues practicing. We can allude to each of these distinctive styles of coordinated effort as
various collaboration classes. Therefore, I require to enhance my leadership skills as soon as

possible with hard practicing and knowledge. Collaborating with the team members is required
to communicate with team members. The first is that moral conduct assists with specialized
coordination, which to a great extent includes practicing impact over other individuals without
relying on any formal authority. Unethical conduct definitely dissolves the level of regard a man
can anticipate from other individuals.
Small Writing task 8
According to Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies, knowledge and skill base,
Engineering Application Ability and personal and professional attributes are the main elements.
The compound interest is that amount of money that is received at the end of a particular period
of time that is given if the money is not used or interest that is being earned. When the first
amount of interest is being paid, the additional interest is being started on the money.
Criteria Self-assessment
Oral and written communication I have a good communication skills. Still I
have to develop my oral communication to

Ethics I have a good ethical behavior with my
colleagues. I get frustrated when they are not
listening my thoughts and views.
Leadership qualities I have less score in leadership qualities. I am
unable to handle my team members and

requires a great attention to improve it.
Small written task 9
Instructing someone helps in guiding them during their problems. There were some
difficulties as I lack in my leadership skills. The team members were not listening to my views
and strategies that I instructed to them. This was frustrating for me and I was unable to handle
the team. I was unable to understand the feelings and views of my team due to lack in
communication. I have guided my team members for making strategies against opponent team.
There was communication gap in my team that creates a lot of problem in the sport. My
instruction were not followed properly that causes frustration in me. Conversely, as we have seen
through the examination comes about, engineers work in a situation where achievement is
resolved not by our individual scholarly exhibitions, however, by the way our specialized bits of
knowledge empower us to impact others to accomplish reliable outcomes that match desires
Small written task 10
Collaboration is an alternate idea from communication. These collaborations can appear
as words articulated as sounds or written in representative shape, as pictures, illustrations, or
outlines. Alongside unmistakable cooperation, human communications include numerous
different viewpoints, for example, changes in vocal quality when talking, pose, outward
appearances, different sounds, or real developments. Two individuals may team up to construct a
relic, for example, a table or seat. On the other hand, a bigger gathering of individuals may team
up with the goal that they can celebrate amid a social event like viewing a motion picture. We
inquired as to why the cost was so high, however we didn't get an unmistakable clarification.

Certain sorts of substantial designing development extends in my own particular piece of
Australia are allegedly influenced by substantial scale defilement.
Short writing task 11
As an engineer, I maintain the quality culture of an organization so that the individuals take of
their work very accurately. To maintain Peer attribute, I take care of all the individuals of the
organization personally. I keep a look on the health of my co workers so that the performance of
the team does not decrease. If my co workers need training and need to develop their skills, I am
able to provide them with all those materials of training and skills to maintain the performance of
the team.

responsibilities of the chief engineer of the project inspecting the day to day work and also
managed the project. She completed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883. Emily Roebling had an
excellent knowledge on stress analysis, calculating the curves of catenary, strength of materials
and about cable constructions. The impact which Emily Roebling gave the society was to inspire
the female to get to the field of engineering. She dealt with all the competing engineers,
politicians and all those who were involved with the process of building.
Short writing task 13

The main uncertainty that is mainly faced is the risk assessment in managing the project. All
good engineers should know how to mitigate the uncertainty of all the aspects of project
management. The following shows the aspects of project management:
Planning: Planning deals with the capturing, documentation and also helps to maintain the data
in a project.
Scope: The scope defines what the project is. It provides all the engineers a wholesome view of
the project.
Requirements: The requirement register should contain the list about who requested the project,
when is the project to be submitted, who will be given priority and many more.
Time/Schedule: Maintaining the schedule ensures the completion of the project in time.
Costs: All the activity of project deals with some cost. The resources that are spent, cost of
hardware and license are to be fixed.
Resources: When managing a project resource management is one of the most important aspects.
Communications: Good communication process should be there within the process of project
management so that the managers can convey their messages to their employees.
Procurement: The purchases that are needed to complete the project are to be thought of with
best price.
Quality: The quality of the project is to be kept in mind. It should be presented in good quality.
Risk: The The project should have less risk factors or should be totally free from all types of risk
Ethics: The project should deal with ethics that the organization or the government follows.

Governance: If something is needed to be changed, the government is to inform the project
manager about that change.
Short writing task 14
The resource calendar shows the availability of the persons who are involved in project
management. I should also stick to the scope of the statement in managing the time of my
project. This helps to focus on the completion of the task and time is managed much easier.
Experts know how to manage all the tasks in hand at the given period of time. All the tools that
are available should be used in time which helps to track a particular task faster.
Sometimes I feel that the work is going too fast which makes the working process slow serving
as the late completion of the project.
Short writing task 15
This chapter illustrates the predictability of high level that is required for reliable performance.
The uncertainty in the engineering sector mainly comes from the human behaviors that are
unpredictable. The predictable results that are present in uncertainty are enabled in project
management. This chapter gives us a keen insight about the importance of time management and
work breakdown structures.
I have used the time management and risk management strategy. The risk assessment of a project
management is to be made clearer in mitigating the risk that comes in managing the project. The
idea of reducing behavioral uncertainties by human diversity is new to me.
Short writing task 16

The case study is about Oil Spill British Petroleum. This incident took about life of 11 workers
and about 8000 marine life. There was many risk assessment factors that were to be taken care
of. Before starting the project I would train all the employees regarding their responsibilities of
the job they are dealing with so that their duties are performed correctly. All the quality
standards must be ensured properly for which the line manager and the manager of upper level
should come in work. I would have placed require number of expert needed on the project who
are able to work with all the skilled workers also guide them accordingly at the time of risk. I
would have also make a clear hierarchy of the risk assessment of the project so that it would be
easier to take decision at the time of risk.
Short writing task 17
The money that is available presently worth more in future because of the capacity of potential
earning. This is the idea behind Time Value of Money. The worth of money increases sooner
after it is being received. A dollar that is being received today is to be invested to make more
money in future.
Short writing task 18
To understand the value of time money is very important for the project managers. There is a
cash flow that occurs in any size in the projects. The payment of the compound interest is the
basic concept of adjustment for the money that is given as loan. The compound interest is that
amount of money that is received at the end of a particular period of time that is given if the
money is not used or interest that is being earned.
Short writing task 19

Sustainability and the sustainable development both are very critical concepts to make an
engineer expert. Many engineers think this as an opposite concept. The work of sustainable
development is to tie up the carrying capacity of the nature with the political, social and
economic challenges that are faced by the humans in the present world.
Short writing task 20
Sustainable development is the concept of economic development conducted without depleting
the natural resources. There are mainly two concepts that are needed in developing the
sustainability. They are: the concept of need that are the essential need in particular which
overrides the priority that is given and it also provides an idea of limiting the technology and also
the social organization that is being imposed on the ability of the environment to meet the need
in present and future time.
Short writing task 21
Ethics in engineering is quite often talked about as far as good conduct and values as for
acknowledged social standards, religious esteems, or some other framework of Ethics, for
example, proficient Ethics. Even on the off chance that it were conceivable to turn to expert, its
utilization is probably going to trade off the outcomes. Successful specialized coordination
includes picking up the eager furthermore, principled joint effort of other individuals. Depending
on formal hierarchical expert diminishes the degree to which individuals energetically and
honestly team up. At initially, we suspected that the engineering office had uncommon
prerequisites that would apply to all new grounds structures, for example, vitality proficiency
and the arrangement for future aerating and cooling.

Short writing task 22
Individuals with a naturalistic esteem structure see environmental change as to a great
degree harming to the planet. They credit this harm to human action directed to a great extent in
obliviousness of the results, or possibly with an absence of thought for who and what is to come.
In their view, governments need to intercede to ensure the regular habitat and keep individuals
from harming it any further. While it may in any case be feasible for a dishonest individual to
facilitate other individuals, it will require more coordination exertion (both time and cost) as far
as arranging an understanding, checking execution, what's more, checking the outcomes.
Short writing task 23
In the seventeenth and eighteenth hundreds of years, engineers created machines that
tackled non-renewable energy source vitality, extraordinarily stretching out the human ability to
adjust our living condition and create sustenance, prompting the Industrial Revolution in
Western Europe and America. Contrasted and industrialized nations, a given designing
undertaking giving the same benefit quality can be considerably more costly in comparable
money terms. There has been many advances in engineering in my country including mobile
telecommunications. This have helped in communicating with different people at different
places.
Short writing task 24
There has been many changing behavior in engineers in my country. For example, I was
dealing with a task for which we required a 130-square meter workshop built with different
administrations, counting packed air, three-stage electrical power, and water. When I have
inquired as to why the applicable legislative against defilement offices are not currently

examining these exercises, I have been educated that they are completely possessed with
examinations of unscrupulous conduct inside government organizations: they don't have
adequate assets or, then again locale to explore private area debasement.
Short writing task 25
High caliber (and frequently more costly) parts additionally accompany broad
documentation and configuration advisers for help designs dependably select the most suitably
estimated part in a given item extend. Different candidate have various experiences in
engineering. This creates competition among them. The updated resume was a key factor to
distinguish between them. In South Asia, engineers are found in little numbers in respect to the
populace estimate.
Short writing task 26
Every one of the engineers had procured extensive knowledge and broad learning of
designing part and administration supply organizations and their capacities, for example, nearby
subcontractors (or, then again sellers), gear providers, and even worldwide supply firms who did
not really have workplaces or delegates in a similar nation. Many building organizations are
confronting chapter 11, especially little firms. Indeed, even designers who have business may
wind up working low maintenance or if nothing else being paid just a small amount of their
ordinary compensation. Many organizations who might as a rule have gone up against graduate
architects have quit selecting totally.
Short writing task 27
There has been various learnings from the book. The clarification related to the
engineering has been acknowledged. The misconception regarding engineering has been

removed. I have reservations about utilizing this book for undergrad or even full-time
postgraduate building courses. . For whatever length of time that execution motivating forces in
formal training remain so misaligned with those that apply in designing practice, students will be
looked with understood logical inconsistencies between what they are attempting to learn and
how they are remunerated for that learning.
Short writing task 28
After going through the whole book, I understood that engineering have a great future
ahead. This branch will help in developing our country. I would like to work for construction
companies in the country. The ideas form this book will help in managing my team in my
organization and fulfilling goals and objectives of the company in future. . I will have to improve
my communication skills and leadership quality to maintain a good teamwork.
