My partner was Sophie Spielmann.
The case that we explored together is a vehicle safety test. We both decided that
the second option was the best. We both agree that engineers should do more than just
the bare minimum. Technology has changed, and it is important to update laws that are
outdated. However, we also understand that it is a business at the end of the day, which
is why we did not go with option 3. If budget were not a problem, option 3 would be my
choice; however, that is not the case, so option 2 is what I decided is best.
The Code of Ethics that supports my position is “Hold paramount the safety,
health, and welfare of the public. Since we have advanced technology with outdated
regulations, the regulations no longer protect the safety of the public. This is why
engineers should consider the changes.
