The professional approach to engineering ethics: five research questions

M Davis. Sci Eng Ethics. 2001 Jul.

Abstract

This paper argues that research for engineering ethics should routinely involve philosophers, social scientists, and engineers, and should focus for now on certain basic questions such as: Who is an engineer? What is engineering? What do engineers do? How do they make decisions? And how much control do they actually have over what they do?
