Extend your students' analytical skills to moral deliberation with this bestselling engineering ethics text.
Harris/Pritchard/Rabins' ENGINEERING ETHICS: CONCEPTS AND CASES, 4E bridges the gap between theory and practice
with more than 100 current case studies available in the text and on the companion website, including current and
controversial topics, such as Hurricane Katrina and global warming. The authors introduce a proven, structured
methodology for analyzing these cases, as well as provide examples of cases that have already been analyzed, to
ensure your students understand how to practice ethical engineering. The text also discusses and applies Engineering
Codes of Ethics to a variety of situations.
With this text�s comprehensive coverage, students learn the importance of critical moral reasoning as the authors
demonstrate how many apparent moral disagreements are actually disagreements about the facts or the definitions
of crucial terms that can only be resolved through analysis. Significant topics, such as ethical theory and the
consequences of whistle-blowing, are now extensively revised to provide more in-depth coverage. Throughout this
edition, students see, first-hand, the importance of their actions as professionals, and learn how their actions
can affect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
