I know this is one of a few options they give but to imply that this option is somehow unethical in anyway is ridiculous, especially to say it’s being unethical to an employer. God I hate it here

    What does the US even engineer any more, except war and famine? What ethics do you need to apply to those things?

    Whatever the answer may be though, DON’T YOU DARE inconvenience your employer! Death march! DEAth MArch! DEATH MARCH!!!

      I was going to say infrastructure but then I forgot we haven’t built a bridge in 30 years and haven’t repaired anything and it’s all about to simultaneously collapse like a comedy show

      …yeah I’m gonna move to China, there’s probably more job security in that market even to foreign hires

        Probably why the textbook has no idea how to present an actual low-level engineering job.

        I’ll have you know we’re building a bridge in Baltimore as we speak! (Only because it collapsed)

    Trying to get US engineers to agree with ethical concerns is a fools task. It’s easier to make an argument that ethical engineering ventures on a soceital level would provide more guarantees for employment.

    The selfishness that pervades the engineering field is basically the only unifying factor for nearly all of us. That and nuerodivergence I guess.

      They don’t have ethics, they have “my ass is legally covered.”

        Is “Set Phasers on Stun” one of your required readings? I’d pick it up if not, really shines a light on how shitty our “ethics” are.

    What was the best option according to this questionaire?

      It wasn’t that there was one correct option, it was basically just a section on “you have more than two options when considering a dilemma.” So it was basically just going through the pros and cons of several options and didnt want to say which one was definitively right
