Part I: Engineering ethics case of study Three engineers are working in the municipality as inspectors for newly constructed residential buildings. The three engineers can be listed as follows: 1. Engineer 1 is a civil engineer 2. Engineer 2 is an electrical engineer 3. Engineer 3 is a mechanical engineer The three engineers were assigned to an investigation case involving a building involving a court dispute between an Engineering Tech Company (ETC) and an owner. The inspection comments for each engineer can be summarized as follows: a Engineer 1: The building construction work was completed by ETC but with low safety standards and not as described in the design specifications (eg, not confirmed with standards or municipality laws). It should be noted that Engineer 1 was working for ETC before joining the municipality. As a courtesy to ETC, as a former employer, Engineer 1 is considering modifying his comments in this investigation to allow ETC to correct some issues in this building b. Engineer 2: the building's electrical alarm system (EAS) was not completed in accordance with engineering technical design drawings, but Engineer 2 was not fully aware of the design standard. Therefore, Engineer 2 was asking Engineer 1 about the wiring problem, due to Engineer 1 long experience in the municipality. Engineer 3: The elevator system (ES) was inspected and noted to lack the safety circuit (e.g., a short-circuit in the emergency-stop circuit). This would cause the ES to overheat and burn the system. However, ETC requested Engineer 3 not to report the elevator system because they will be changing the whole elevator system next month, The final report should summarize the final decisions concluded by all engineers.
