Critical Ethics for Engineers in 2026 and Beyond

Critical Ethics for Engineers in 2026 and Beyond is a frank and candid description of the need for an increased level of ethics in the engineering and construction industry. It describes how to become an ethical person rather than just following rules established by others. It explores the depths of life which is where an ethical commitment is formed. It empowers engineers to formulate ethical standards and solutions to address societal changes posed by global warming and war. It elucidates the contribution of values, morality, and religion towards maintaining a high level of respect for engineers.The title actively supports the tenets of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and focuses on the treatment of women in the engineering and construction industry. The advocates of women’s rights in the sixties and seventies did greatly improve the living and working conditions in the home and workplace, but posited that women are the same as men and to be successful a woman had to live as one, which is untrue and unfair. Women should be given a few days off each month with pay to cope with menstrual distress. They should not have to ask permission, obtain a signature from their boss, or even explain why they will be gone. To avoid embarrassment, awkwardness, and bias they should simply be able to leave a yellow stickie on their desk or a note on their calendar that they will return when they are able to. They should not be expected to check-in with the office, return calls, write emails, or review reports.The book elucidates the contribution of values, morality, religion, and conscience towards developing an ethical platform. It includes detailed discussions of vital subjects such as ethical character formation; protection of the public and workers; mentoring and being mentored; integrity; sustainability and ecology; colleagues, leadership team, and clients; transparency; environmental justice; ability to perform work; and forward-looking case studies.For more details, please visit https://centralwestpublishing.com
