 Not attending classes It is highly recommended that the student attend class most of the time and be punctual. Even if the professor does not teach well.  Not buying the recommended textbook  Not doing the homework  Studying at the last minute  Aiming low  Being overconfident  Selling your engineering books

 Your grader is not a robot, your grader is a human being, therefore: Show that you are a hard worker Show that you care Use your body language in a positive way

Ethics

 Another innovation was LeMessurier’s adaptation of the tube concept to an unusual situation. The land on which the Citicorp Center was built had belonged to St. Peter’s Church, with the church occupying an old (dating from 1905) and decaying Gothic building on the lot’s to the midpoints of each side west side. When St. Peter’s sold the building lot to Citicorp, it also negotiated that a new church be erected “under” the Citicorp skyscraper. In order to manage this, LeMessurier moved the “corners” of the building

The ethics problem arose soon after the building was completed and occupied. LeMessuricr received a call from an engineering student in New Jersey who was told by a professor that the building’s columns had been put in the wrong place. The student’s questions sufficiently intrigued LeMessurier that he reviewed his original design and calculations to see just how strong the wind bracing system would be. He found himself looking at a case that was not examined under then-current practice and building codes. Practice at the time called for wind force effects to be calculated when the wind flow hit a side of a building dead on, that is, normal to the building faces. However, the calculation of the effect of a quartering wind, under which the wind hits a building on a 45-degree diagonal and the resulting wind pressure is then distributed over the two immediately adjacent faces (see Figure 9.6), had not been called for previously.

NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall: ◦ Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public. ◦ Perform services only in areas of their competence. ◦ Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner. ◦ Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees. ◦ Avoid deceptive acts. ◦ Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.

You need to become a philosopher

1. Which option will generate the greatest benefit (or least amount of harm) for the greatest number? (utilitarianism) 2. Which option safeguards and/or promotes your own or your organization's best interests? (ethical egoism) 3. Which option allows you to be willing to make your decision a rule or policy that you and others in your situation can follow in similar situations in the future? Have you or will you be using any person as a means to an ends without consideration for his/her basic integrity and dignity as a human being? (Kantian ethics) 4. Which options respect the rights of individuals in society? (rights ethics)

 In 1994/95, it was discovered and widely reported that the latest version of the Intel Pentium chip had flaws.  Paradigms: For our positive paradigm, we will use the statement that “products should perform as advertised.” The negative paradigm will be: “Knowingly sell products that are defective and that will negatively affect customer’s applications.”  Options 1. Deny the existence of the problem 2. There are flaws in the chip, the customer is informed of them, but no help is offered. 3. A warning label says that the chip should not be used for certain applications. 4. Recall notices are sent out, and all flawed chips are replaced. 5. Replacement chips are offered only if the customer notices the problem.

Check if they are actually true and, if not, innovate

 1807: Swiss engineer François Isaac de Rivaz built an internal combustion engine powered by a hydrogen and oxygen mixture. [3]  1824: French physicist Sadi Carnot established the thermodynamic theory of idealized heat engines. This scientifically established the need for compression to increase the difference between the upper and lower working temperatures. 

 1838: a patent was granted to William Barnet (English). This was the first recorded suggestion of in-cylinder compression.  : Eugenio Barsanti & Felice Matteucci invented an engine that was rumored to be the first 4-cycle engine, but the patent was lost.  gine gine  It does not mean “do not use old technologies”, it means use the better ones

 The City of Hannover, Germany, was designated as the site of the world exposition in the year  The city decided to directly address the difficult issue of imagining and encouraging a sustainable future.

1. Insist on rights of humanity and nature to co-exist in a healthy, supportive, diverse and sustainable condition. 2. Recognize interdependence. The elements of human design interact with and depend upon the natural world, with broad and diverse implications at every scale. Expand design considerations to recognizing even distant effects. 3. Respect relationships between spirit and matter. Consider all aspects of human settlement including community, dwelling, industry and trade in terms of existing and evolving connections between spiritual and material consciousness. 4. Accept responsibility for the consequences of design decisions upon human well-being, the viability of natural systems and their right to co-exist. 5. Create safe objects of long-term value. Do not burden future generations with requirements for maintenance or vigilant administration of potential danger due to the careless creation of products, processes or standards.

6. Eliminate the concept of waste. Evaluate and optimize the full life-cycle of products and processes, to approach the state of natural systems. in which there is no waste. 7. Rely on natural energy flows. Human designs should, like the living world, derive their creative forces from perpetual solar income. Incorporate this energy efficiently and safely for responsible use. 8. Understand the limitations of design. No human creation lasts forever and design does not solve all problems. Those who create and plan should practice humility in the face of nature. Treat nature as a model and mentor, not as an inconvenience to be evaded or controlled. 9. Seek constant improvement by the sharing of knowledge. Encourage direct and open communication between colleagues, patrons, manufacturers and users to link long term sustainable considerations with ethical responsibility, and re- establish the integral relationship between natural processes and human activity.
