In carrying out ASME’s charge to promote a high level of ethical practice within our membership and the engineering profession, the Committee on Ethical Standards and Review presents resources and real cases of challenging ethical concerns. We invite you to explore and debate these issues and resources. Please send cesr@asme.org any questions or comments related to this subject.

The National Institute for Engineering Ethics at Texas Tech University presents The Applied Engineering Ethics Case of the Month Club & Program. The focus of this program is to present real situations taken from professional practice in order to stimulate greater emphasis on ethical issues, and to hopefully allow our visitors an opportunity to avoid similar pitfalls in their own careers. ASME provides a direct liaison to NIEE.
