Abstract: In today’s competitive world, delivering safe, high-quality products and services is a priority for all of us. However, engineers and other professionals often face pressure to bypass safety and quality standards, typically for financial gains—whether to cut costs or accelerate delivery times.
The truth is, that cutting corners is not a sustainable practice.
Sustainable business practices require adherence to ethical guidelines, robust risk management, and effective communication.
Join us for an engaging hour-long workshop where we’ll demystify ethical guidelines, starting with a humorous 7-minute journey through the history of ethical thinking. You’ll learn to apply these guidelines through practical, relevant scenarios and gain essential skills in risk evaluation and communication.
Let’s build a foundation for sustainable success by embracing ethics in engineering!
I Embrace Ethics in Engineering—That’s what IEEE stands for. Right?
