The Cullen College of Engineering and the Engineering Alumni Association are pleased to announce our forthcoming Engineering Ethics seminar: Engineering Ethics: Law and Life. This program will be delivered as a 1-hour interactive webinar, Thursday, February 24, 2022, at 12:00-1:00 pm Central Time. This complimentary event is open to all alumni, faculty and staff. Personalized certificates of completion will be provided for PDH records.
About the seminar topic:
Many people equate engineering ethics with engineering law. However, while law is one dimension of it, engineering ethics is much more. Most importantly, it is about the way we live and treat others in the context of our profession. In this session, we explore these two distinct facets of engineering ethics – law and life – and illustrate them with examples and case studies, based on enforcement actions by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors and real-life experience in engineering practice.
About the seminar leader:
