Reflecting on Professional Conduct and Accountability in Projects

The reflection focuses on the adherence to ethical principles, compliance with safety standards, and attention to health, safety, and environmental considerations in multiple engineering projects. It highlights key experiences from three career episodes (CE 1.2.3, CE 1.3.3, CE 1.4.1; CE 2.2.3, CE 2.3.5, CE 2.4.2; CE 3.3.3, CE 3.4), demonstrating how these principles have been applied practically to ensure responsible and effective project outcomes. The reflection underscores the importance of ethical conduct in professional engineering practice and its impact on project success and sustainability.
